He was born on May 20, 1939, in Detroit, Michigan, to Herbert and Martha Hempel.
Larry is survived by his loving wife Ruth (nee Cain) and her children Diane, Michelle, and Denise. He will be forever missed by his brother Roger (Michele) Hempel, his niece Erica Wood, and his cousins Mike (Ruth) Hempel and Chuck (Beth) Hempel. His extended family will always cherish his memory.
Larry was proud to have served his country with the United States Army. He always looked forward to going to Sunday services at Hope Community Baptist Church. His collection of classic cars was something to envy.
