Larry's love for helping people, and his kind and honest demeanor lead him on the path to a career in sales, including homes, farm equipment, insurance and in 1996, he found his "second home" at Ripplinger Motors now Drive Chevrolet in Harvey.

Music was also a huge part of Larry's life.  He was a talented singer and guitar player and loved to share his talent with others in several bands, churches, and his family.

Most of all, Larry's greatest joy was his family.  His love for his wife was obvious to everyone.  He beamed with pride when talking about his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.  Their activities and sporting events were so important to him.
