Larry also leaves behind four grandchildren, Latasha, Logan, Jaden and Kyleigh and one great-grandchild, Ryder.

Larry loved his family and had many friends and kids that called him “Dad.” He retired from GTE/Verizon after 30 years. He was also the owner and operator of The Grail for 14 years. Larry loved volunteering with the Explorer Scouts and Children’s Village. One of his greatest accomplishments was donating over 20 gallons of blood. He is loved by many and he will be greatly missed, but for sure we will always remember his stories he told. We will be announcing a celebration of life at a later time.
