Larry enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He loved to play guitar and made beautiful pottery. He also loved to water ski, enjoyed vintage cars and loved to go camping. Larry was a lifelong fan of the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Twins, but his biggest accomplishment was his two beautiful daughters. He was so proud of them!

He was preceded in death by his parents and many other loved ones.
A celebration of life will be held in Minnesota at a later date.
