He had many interests, which included cars -old and new, carpentry, wood working and last but not least, watching Minnesota sports teams. He was an avid Minnesota Twins and Vikings fan- through the good and the bad. Larry was a "Mr. Fixit" and his family will cherish the many projects he has completed for them which include decks, sheds, cabinets and work benches to name a few.
