Upon moving to the DFW area, he joined the Oak Cliff Lions Club in 1969 where he was Lion of the Year twice and received the Melvin Jones Fellowship award.

Larry’s primary loves were his family, traveling, and photography. He purchased several time shares so he could travel with his family and friends. Spring Break and Summer Vacation with family made him very happy. He especially enjoyed it when there were plenty of people to play domino games (the game of 84 was his favorite). He was still beating all of us at dominoes regularly. Times spent in Lake Tahoe, Bandera, Daytona Beach, and Hot Springs with family are precious memories.

Larry’s love of photography led him to create a legacy of beautiful photo albums for the family and the Lions Club.
