Larry loved spending time outdoors, whether it was fishing, hunting, or his favorite pastime, golfing. He was huge fan of Notre Dame even though his wife Nancy was rooting for the opposing team. He attended numerous baseball games with his family. He took advantage of spending as much time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren as he could. He was a family man.

Holidays were his favorite; he loved getting his family together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. He kept his TV on the Hallmark Channel all winter long. He had a great sense of humor, always telling off-color jokes. He was witty and quick with a response.
