Larry attended Rockford Schools. He worked and lived his entire life on the family farm in Rockford. After moving to Otterbein he enjoyed fishing, bike riding, bus trip outings, Bible study, talking to friends and volunteering to help in different departments with numerous tasks.

Larry's infectious laugh made him the life of the party at family get togethers. While he enjoyed his many friends at Otterbein, he understood that Jesus was his Lord and Savior and looked forward to meeting Him and reuniting with his loved ones.
