Larry was very proud to have served in the US Navy on the USS Forrestal. He did one Mediterranean cruise and one in the Caribbean during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Larry was a former member of GWRRA and was ride coordinator for Chapter N of Waukesha for 5 years. He was an avid Gold Wing rider since 1984 and put 150,000 on his Wings touring the United States with his wife. Since 2002 he trailered the Wing behind a motor home and they toured the areas on the bike when their destinations were reached. Larry also loved camping, singing around campfires, and having fun with his family and friends. Larry played the bass guitar in several local bands over the years and had a great love of music. Larry was an electrician by trade but enjoyed doing carpentry and building projects as his hobbies. Larry lived his life true to his principles, faith in God, love of family and friends, and love of his country. He will be greatly missed by all.
