Larry's roots were in Kentucky where he spent most of his childhood. He honorably served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Larry was also a long time employee of Greenleaf Corp in Saegertown where he enjoyed his work and made a lot of good friends. He loved the outdoors, nature, especially fishing but most of all he loved the time spent with his children, grandchildren and friends. He was a selfless person who was always willing to lend a helping hand. The simple things in life gave Larry so much joy and he loved to laugh.
