Larry was an avid hunter, always in his tree stand on the first day of archery season. Larry bled Eagle green and one of his favorite activities was cheering on the Eagles and Pirates. He was a great repetitive storyteller with an off- the-wall personality and was a collector of anything and everything. Larry loved motorcycles and riding across the country with his wife and kids.
