He attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Othello, coached Little League, was a Webelos den leader, member of Franklin County Cattlemen's Association, Assistant Superintendent at the Benton-Franklin Fair, and longtime supporter of 4-H /FFA kids. Larry loved his farm, but his family was his top priority. His hours upon hours of wrestling and playing with his children and grandchildren will always be fondly remembered. He and Judy did almost everything together, were best friends and true soul mates. There will be a huge, empty space at all future family get togethers.
