Larry attended Lexington High School where he was an honor student, participated in wrestling, and earned a Regents Scholarship to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1976 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Larry moved his family to Fort Collins, Colo., in 1988 and worked as a computer analyst in the surrounding areas for many years. Most recently, he assisted people by providing quality elder care, another of his interests. It was clear very early in his life that he had an unusual ability to view things critically. Larry worked on inventions and his approach was always directed toward ways of simplifying or improving life for people. Larry also loved nature, fishing, his family, particularly his daughter and son, and being around friends. He always challenged himself and had a particularly nostalgic disposition. Larry was a member of Mensa, St. John’s Lutheran Church and the Sons of the America Legion.
