Never one to sit still, Larry began a second business in 1998 as co-owner of Blackberry Patch Golf Club. Larry truly never retired as he continued to help wherever he could.
Larry was active in the Coldwater community belonging to the Jaycees, Noon Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Economic Growth Alliance. He was a man of faith and attended The First Baptist Church in Coldwater. Larry enjoyed many hobbies including vintage cars, Cushman scooters, mowing and utilizing his handyman skills to help others. His true joy in life was his family. He will be remembered as an easy going, creative, and thoughtful man. Larry always had a smile on his face and never passed up an opportunity to make those around him smile by teasing, tormenting, and joking. He will be missed by many.
