No sooner than walking in the door, he met Cherry Chambers who was also employed there. Within months of meeting, the two were married. He enjoyed many hobbies in life. He was an avid fisherman. He enjoyed working with his hands and creating anything he could out of wood. In his quiet time, he could be found enjoying a good book. During college football season, there was only one team he rooted for, his beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers. Larry was a member of the Noon Optimist, a past President of the Rotary Club in Atchison, and retired from JC Penny’s and Wal Mart.
