He worked diligently as a salesman for Purina Mills (Checkerboard Square) for 25 years. Being one of the youngest members of the Purina old timers was a joy to him. He later joined Shawnee Milling Company until retirement, Larry forged lifelong friendships during his tenure in sales. Anyone who worked with Larry knew he was a straight shooter and one heck of a great salesman! His jocularity took control of any room or situation he may be in. He was always respected for he respected everyone. His first handshake sold the deal everything else was just details. Aside from his successful career, Larry cherished moments spent with his children and grandchildren. Family meant everything to “Uncle Kemo”, as he was fondly referred to by his numerous nieces and nephews. He loved playing golf and spending countless days at the lake making sure everyone had plenty of good food and cold beer. “Boss Hog” as he called himself, made sure nobody was hungry no matter who was there, saying, “make out your meal”. His love of the ocean shows in so many a tanned smiles and memories of his best friends and family on her shores. Larry danced with his heart. Whether with his daughter or the love of his life. The smile on his face was undeniable. “Dody Gene” never passed up a chance to cut a rug. Larry loved to fish. Let’s rephrase, Larry loved to fish with his two boys. His tackle box consisted of one lawn chair, one newspaper, one big cigar, one cooler and whatever his two boys could carry that they would use to catch fish. He never caught a fish one, his reward was the smile on our faces when we finally caught a big one. Those days were without a doubt some of the best days of his life and ours.Larry was born into a God loving and spiritual home. He kept his faith and love for our lord Jesus Christ in every step of his life. Larry’s faith never wavered. He was a man who walked with God from his first breath until his last.
