He never turned someone away who needed his help. He did all he could to help, whether that was someone he loved needing assistance in the middle of the night to needing a place to stay for a night or for a while. He was a strong man with an infinitely gentle and compassionate heart. Larry also enjoyed building and repairing things and always had a new idea for another project. For over 26 years, Larry was a licensed Amateur Radio Operator with callsign KCSZTN. He enjoyed participating in this hobby with his son, Gordon, and was a member of the Eastern New Mexico Amateur Radio Club. Above all else he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.
