In 1961, he joined the Lubbock Police Department, embarking on a career in public service that spanned 36 years. Rising to the rank of Corporal, he retired in 1997 after a distinguished tenure dedicated to protecting and serving his community.

Larry had a passion for Taekwondo, sports cars, and motorcycles, embracing each with enthusiasm and determination. He enjoyed the thrill of the open road and the power of a fast car.
