Larry was a simple soul that loved helping others any way he could and any time he could. He attended Montello High School and graduated in 1979. He worked at Cardinal Glass in Portage. He married Sandra Kay Smith, the love of his life, on May 30, 1981.

Larry’s joy was helping others. He was a volunteer firefighter since 1981. He would always put his needs to the side and drop everything for anyone in need. He truly was an everyday hero. He loved bagpipe music, all Celtic music, and camping. Quality time spent with family and friends was the thing he treasured most. When it came to his grandchildren, he was a kid at heart, and they all adored him.

He was the most simple of men with the biggest of hearts.
