Larry had a career with Stone Gardens Assisted Living where he served as the Director of Environmental Services and retired in 2019 after 24 years. When not working, Larry could be found trying his luck at the casino or working around his property, which he loved doing. He was an avid traveler who enjoyed 15 cruises with his wife, Kathy. Those that knew him would describe him as compassionate, caring, loving and a devoted family man and friend. His Catholic faith meant so much to him.
