We first met Larry at church when he was a nursery worker. Maddi was about 18 months  old and he often talked about how much he loved her because she reminded him of Logan. I guess Logan must have been a busy or wild baby.  😂 There were many times when we would come to get her and she would be asleep in his arms. 

One of my earliest memories with Larry was when we were attending mountain man rendezvous, and the host was complaining about our trucks being parked on the grass for too long while we were unloading. And Larry went over and had some choice, not so gentle words with him. It was nice to have someone there to advocate for us and our boys. I loved how he would always make the boys feel included. Especially the ones that had a hard time fitting in. 

We were on our way to a camp out. And Larry is a notoriously fast driver, so I was surprised when I beat him to camp. Come to find out he had pulled over on the side of the road to help someone change a tire. He felt like he had to be a good example to the boys in our scout troop. 

Larry has been our go to mechanic. We would always call him with questions we had and he was always willing to take a look at whatever we were concerned about. One time we were stressing out because our car started heavily leaking coolant and we were about to leave to my nieces baptism out of town. We were sure that we would have to miss it. But He came right over and reattached a hose and sent us on our way.  He would even work on our Ford’s, but always made sure to apologize to his driveway first.

My kids loved it when Larry stopped by to fix stuff because he would always play/be silly with them. One time he came over to help us fix a faucet, and after he was done he gave our son, Bennett a yellow microfiber cloth. Bennett was very possessive of that towel, and anytime someone else used it he would yell, “Larry gave that rag to me, not you!!”

Larry made us feel like we were a part of the family. We loved being in his home, and he

Thank you Larry, for talking to my son until 4 am every weekend when my son had a curfew at midnight.  You made him laugh.  Thank you for sharing Ryker and McKayla with my family.  They are amazing young people.  Rest easy.  You will always be remembered….. 
with love , Lebranda, Ryan and Fiona Schell.

We met Larry in response to an ad we placed on Craigslist  looking for a pool cleaner. Little did we know we’d not only get our pool cleaned but also make an incredible friend. Saturday mornings were spent talking in the yard for hours as Larry was “cleaning” the pool. If we weren’t in the backyard when he came over to check on the pool he’d often come in the back door to give the kids a hard time. 
After learning the news of the passing of our 15 year old daughter,  Larry’s pool cleanings turned into Hansen family check ins. Larry always made us feel loved and important and always made us laugh. Larry made you feel like you were his  favorite. We will always love our Larry.

Hey! Wanna see my new tattoo? 
( rolls the shirt sleeve up ) 
(Does a “ball check” on you as you examine the tattoo) 

Don’t sweat it buddy

So fun spending a morning together in Boulder City and having lunch at the Pit Stop.

It was Larry who said, “Nah you’re doing it wrong! You gotta pop the hip” and shows me how to take a proper sassy picture! I love love this memory and I miss your family ❤️
