Larry was born on July 6th. 1951.  He grew up in Northlake, IL & graduated from West Leyden high school, class of 1969. On any given day, you might find him fishing, drinking a beer, having a smoke & telling corny jokes. He especially liked fishing with his grandchildren. He loved all Chicago sports teams but the Cubbies were his favorite. He loved his family & he'd brag about his children & grandchildren to anyone who would listen.  He truly enjoyed family time around a fire pit & playing games & sharing stories.  He was great at trivia. He had a heart of gold & would be willing to give you the shirt off his back. He passed peacefully on April 20, 2023.
