Larry grew up in Grandview and graduated from Grandview High School in 1957. Larry went on to serve in the Navy and settled in the Seattle/Auburn area.

Larry and Alice traveled extensively throughout the US in their travel trailer, which Larry loved until he was diagnosed with Lewy body Dementia a few years ago. His family shares of his love of family, sense of humor/sarcasm, strawberry shortcake, and anything peanut butter!
