Larry graduated from Haltom High School in 1973. He joined the Army right out of high school, and served in the Army, the Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard. He was very proud to be a Veteran. Larry was invited to compete in the Olympics on the rifle team with his sharp shooting skills; however he did not get to attend due to the USA boycotting the Olympics that year. Larry was a huge fan of the Texas Rangers and could sit and talk to anybody for hours about them. His little red and black Kia Soul was his pride and joy. Larry was proud to be a registered organ donor.
