He graduated from Bainbridge High School and attended both Bainbridge College and Albany Technical College. Larry retired from BASF where he was a heavy equipment mechanic. He was a member of Delwood Baptist Church. Larry loved working in his yard planting flowers and keeping the grass cut "just so". He could work on anything that moved tractors, cars, boats and even a lawn mower every now and then. Larry had a heart for others and would lend a helping hand expecting nothing in return. Family was important and Larry loved to brag on them over a shared Dr. Pepper.
