Larry was a member of the Sheet Metal Workers Union Local 359, and was an employee of the City of Phoenix. Larry was a fantastic artist. He loved spending time with his family, his green Chevy truck, riding his bike, eating breakfast at McDonalds with his granddaughter Adeline, going to Rocky Pointe, and going to Bingo with his mom, with his lucky blue dot in his pocket. Larry’s life was dedicated to tending to his beloved nieces, nephews, beautiful grandchildren, and making beautiful memories. Larry’s relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthened during the last month and a half of his life. Larry is now flying with the Angels. We love you; you’ll be in our hearts forever.
