The most important thing to know about Larry was that he was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ and showed that through his daily walk. He led his family well and loved them with the love that Christ had for his church. He spent quality time with his family, whether that was practicing sports with them, taking them on fishing trips or hosting family or office gatherings.

Having been born and lived in Ohio, he was known to be a huge fan of The Ohio State University. He was a Buckeye, through and through! Larry was a graduate of the College of Wooster and received his master’s degree from Kent State University.

He was a much-loved and respected Director of Human Resources of Sales and Marketing at Bridgestone’s Corporate Headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. Even though he was the Director of Human Resources, he was beloved for how he treated others and looked forward to, along with his wife Pam, hosting the annual staff Christmas Party at their home.
