He departed this life April 27, 2015, at his home in Kalispell.

Larry grew up in Trego along with his brothers and sister and attended Trego Elementary. He later attended Eureka High where he was involved in 4H, played in the school band, and dabbled in a variety of sports. After school he did odd jobs involving a stint in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, oilfield with his brother Dennis.

He would go on to join the National Guard in Dec. of 1980. He had a son with Diane Wickham named Nathaniel in 1981 before pursuing work in Eastern, Montana. While in Eastern, Larry worked for Holly Sugar where he rose to head welder. While there, he married Rhonda Lou Larson and they had a son named Keith in 1983. His marriage to Rhonda Lou would dissolve and he met and married Dorothy Carpenter. He adopted her son Tim. They expanded their family with the birth of daughter, Alicia, in 1986. In 1989 he left Holly Sugar due to a back injury that would also honorably discharge him from his National Guard duties in 1992.

He and Dorothy eventually parted ways and he returned to the Kalispell area. He met and married Cindy Johnson in 2006, and gladly accepted her two adult daughters into his family.
