In his retirement, he worked part time at RDS Auto Supplies as a delivery driver and Hegins Valley Lines as a school van driver. Larry married Jill Dec. 15, 2006. They crossed paths at a Line Mountain four-wheelers event and quickly became best friends. Larry was a lifetime member of the Herndon Fire Co. and a founding member of Boyles Run Sportsmen Club. Larry enjoyed more than anything spending time with his family. He loved them dearly. His sons and grandchildren were the light of his life. Always looking forward to taking them hunting, acting as their hunting guide and mentor. Larry was a great father, he was always there for his boys teaching and nurturing them. Larry was an avid Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles fan. NASCAR, Indy, NHRA and dirt track racing were also some of his passions. Larry was a car enthusiast, favoring Fords. Larry would spend his mornings watching the birds at the feeders from the huge deck he built with his family. He especially loved hummingbirds. Always one to be working on something whether it was the deck, his hunting shack, shed or working on some landscaping project. Larry could fix or build anything. One of his many hobbies was tending his garden and creek tea patch. He canned his harvest and dried his “Pappy Tea” to share with friends and family. Cooking and baking were another of his hobbies that he both loved and excelled at. Larry was never one to miss a good deal, being a thrifty bargain shopper. Larry loved to talk and enjoyed catching up with his friends and acquaintances whenever he got the chance. Larry was a kind, caring, gentle soul and will be missed by all those he touched throughout his life. Burial will be private and at the discretion of the family.
