Following graduation from Natrona County High School in Casper, Wyoming, Larry enlisted in the US Army. After basic training, Larry was stationed in Karlsruhe, Germany. On his return to the states, Larry married Nancy Waldron. To this union two sons were born Markevin Scott McHaney and Matthew Edward McHaney. Larry and Nancy later divorced.

His drafting school training in the army qualified him for a job as a draftsman with the Wyoming State Highway Department. A few years later, Larry relocated to California. He was employed as a civil designer for several small and large engineering firms that worked to develop towns and cities up and down the coast of California.

Larry worked in a few other states before settling in Utah. This is where he met the love of his life, Marge and they were married in 1978. After they were married a few months, they relocated to Arizona where they spent many very happy years.

In Arizona, Larry worked for several Civil Engineering Companies. His career in Land Planning took him to his final employment with B & R Engineering, a Robson Communities company. He did the planning for most all of the Robson Communities.

Also surviving are his grandchildren Michael, Amanda and Nathan McHaney and granddaughter, Brittney Johnson; great-grandchildren Layla Metaferia, Lilly McHaney, Matilyn McHaney, Malachy McHaney and Cailan Conlon.
