Larry was a man that believed in structure. He carried that through with his faith, family and work. Devoted to his wife, Gail, and their two boys, Jeffrey and Timothy. His hobbies involved collecting antique Minnesota Red Wing crocks and working around his yard, taking care of his lawn was his specialty. The pride and joy of Larry's life was water skiing with his family. He started that hobby with his parents and passed the enjoyment to his family. He always said "It kept us together as a family". To this day, that's how we will remember our dad, the smile he had when we were water skiing. He was the best boat driver around. We'll miss you dad!

Forward Motion-Prayer for us all
In a world where people leave us without permission. Our feelings, our thoughts, our life, are changed. Nobody can stop this, no one can say let's try again or make a plan for tomorrow. Yet, I am here with my heart exposed to all. Can they see what you mean to me, do they know the love will always be there? With small steps, I travel forward through life knowing that for you now, all is quiet. Keep the love in your heart, as I will in mine. My steps grow stronger each day as I walk through my own life towards the Lord.
~P Friar 1962
