Larry's pride and joy in his life was serving his country, his family, and his 30 plus years of working at the Robert J. Dole Veterans Hospital. He is a man who built a legacy based on laughter and love alone. He has left a mark on this world in ways we all wish to achieve. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and never met a stranger.
Larry was born in 1947 and joined the United States Air Force at the young age of 18, served in the Vietnam War, and later transferred to the Army Reserves where he retired after 20 plus years of service. Larry and Jan married in 1972, giving them 52 years of companionship. The joy of Larry's life was raising his daughter, Dawn, with his wife Jan, and later would become being his grandson (Cooper's) very best friend.
Larry is preceded in death by his mother, Ruby Ilee Price, his father, Homer Price; brothers Homer (Gene) Price Jr. and Leslie (Merle) Price.
He is survived by his wife Jan Price; daughter Dawn Bishop (Patrick Burns); grandson Cooper Bishop; and bonus grandchildren, Pierce Burns, Sylvia Burns, and Paxton Burns and multiple nieces and nephews.
