He loved splitting his time between the Antoine river and White Oak lake, specifically at "The old folks hole". He had a passion for good cigars and good beer.

Along with all of this he was also a lover of classic country music and big band swing music. He shared the love for all of these things with his family and really just anyone that would listen to him tell a story. Larry had a big personality and an infectious laugh.
