He was an active member of this congregation when transferred to Schofield Barracks HI. Upon his retirement from the military, he and his wife settled in Buford, GA and became active members of the Suwanee United Methodist Church in Suwanee, GA. He returned to the "Faith of his heart" with the Church of God 6 months prior to his death.

He loved God, family, reading and Braves Baseball. Larry also loved sailing. He was very proud of his certification to sail and spent every available moment sailing around Pearl Harbor, HI.
