Larry Ray Stanfill was born December 7, 1956 to a traveling family from New York, who gave him up for adoption when his father, a traveling business man, was working in Nashville, TN. He was later adopted by Kenneth and Jean Stanfill where he lived in the greater Nashville area for the rest of his life. Larry graduated from John Overton High School and had a diverse career building houses, driving limousines, and running his own businesses. He enjoyed dancing, taking care of vehicles and NASCAR.
