Larry was born in Enid and graduated from Enid High School in 1969. He then graduated with a business degree from Phillips University in 1972. That same year, he married his high school sweetheart, Debbie. They were married for 54 years. Larry was a proud father and grandfather, and loved spending time watching his children and grandchildren play baseball and softball. Any time with family was so special to him, and he was always excited to travel and have new experiences.
