Larry and Mary moved to Lucedale, Mississippi for a few years to be closer to their son, after Stace’s retirement from 20 years in the Navy. After moving back to Rangely, Larry enjoyed retirement, by keeping up with politics, and spending time with his family, watching hockey games, and NASCAR races. He also enjoyed daily phone calls with his sister and brother in law, Paulette and Stanley Reiswig. His most favorite activity was spending time in his grandson Troy’s garage, helping him work on race cars.

For most of his life, Larry was known for his unrenowned knowledge and ability to fix many different cars/trucks, with people even coming from other states to have him work on their car or truck. Many mechanics contacted him when they were stumped while trying to fix something. Larry was a great friend to everyone, a jokester, never had a bad day, was very loved by his family, and will be missed every day.
