Larry enjoyed woodworking, especially making cabinets, tables and decorations for craft fairs. He also enjoyed working on the lawn and taking care of the bushes and trees. In his free time, he loved fishing in the pond in his backyard and fed the fish. The fish heard him walk on the dock and waited for the food. He taught Carly and Ryan how to fish.
