Larry grew up in what is known as the "Valley" near downtown Indianapolis. He lived a fast paced city life until settling down in Lizton, IN. in 1995. Larry adapted to the slower paced country living well. In the event of his death, Larry wished to be cremated and scattered in various places of he and the families' choosing and we will all honor that request. He will forever leave his mark on everyone he met and every path he crossed. The following was his favorite quote-

"After All, Life is to Enjoy" - and that he did… A private service is to be held at a later date.
