Larry was quite the jokester. He kept everyone laughing with his funny faces and the wiggling of his big ears. He was the life of the party at the family get-togethers.
Larry enjoyed going on camping trips with his wife and family. Some of the favorite places were Frenchmen’s Creek, Canada and Kanacadea Park. He liked taking his family to visit his brother Ed in Mississippi. He loved hunting, BINGO, playing cards and doing the Monday night music at Wellsville VFW. Additionally, he was a member of the Andover Golden Agers for over 10 years.
