Larry was farmer in the Metz, MO area and an avid fisherman, hunter and trapper. He was employed as a livestock manager of hog, cattle and fish operations most of his working years. Prior to retirement, he assisted with pecan farming. Larry appreciated nature and enjoyed the outdoors, spending most of his time on the Marmaton river fishing. He grew a large garden most years, providing vegetables and berries, harvested fruit trees, liked working with his hands, making fishing lines and bait cages and he was capable to repair most anything equipment or machinery related. He most enjoyed entertaining and spending time with his family along with visiting neighbors and friends.
