In 1969, Larry moved from Prestonsburg to Mt. Sterling. Larry was on the varsity football, basketball and golf teams. After graduating from Mt. Sterling High School and Vocational School, Larry retired from Link-Belt after working as a welder for 27 years. A life-long sportsman, Larry grew up hunting and fishing and taught his three sons to love and respect the great-outdoors. Additionally, Larry was a racing enthusiast, often watched dirt-track and Nascar races.
