He had a passion for music, especially old time country, bluegrass and Christian. He loved karaoke and would go up to the barn and sing for hours.

Larry loved his Lord and, even while suffering from Alzheimer's, he carried his Bible with him. When he wandered off, he might forget his shoes or coat, but he would have his Bible.
