Larry was a man who found joy in the great outdoors.

These pursuits weren’t just hobbies but a way of life, a testament to his adventurous spirit and love for the simple beauty of the world around him. Larry loved to fish, whether on his boat or next to a stream, Larry had his “secret” fishing spot, it was so secretive not even the fish knew where it was!
He owned his own Excavating company for the past 26 years, dedicating much of his working life to operating a tractor, contributing his strength and skill to the land. Hardworking and determined to make a difference in the community where he lived.
Above all, Larry was a family man. His family was his world! His warmth, wisdom, and steadfast support created a foundation of love that his family will carry on forever.

A celebration of Larry’s life will be held at a later date. In honor of Larry, the family invites you to share your favorite memories and stories, ensuring his legacy continues to inspire.
Rest in peace, Larry. May you find eternal joy in the most beautiful of fishing spots, the calmest camping grounds, and the greatest hunting trails in the sky!
