In 1971 he and friend Ace Hazelip started the Louisville clothing store of MARK FORE and STRIKE, bringing Palm Beach sports clothing to Louisville. He joined the US Army and was a part of the Medical Unit of the 5010 at Bowman Field. He cared for a number of veterans in the burn unit at Fort Sam Houston.

His health took an adverse turn in 2004 and he retired in 2007. Larry was an accomplished golfer and enjoyed many successes as an amateur, earning the nickname of “Long Laramie.” If golf was his hobby, his avocation was following the thoroughbreds; his brother and he had a successful racing stable for many years with their best filly being the Grade 1 winner Countusin. During recent years he could be found handicapping and giving racing tips at the Turf Club as he had a gift for hitting the “tri.” He also had a remarkable gift for remembering events and stories, which he could recount with vivid excitement for friends and family-especially those in involving “Chicky,” Strassel, “Lippy” and the preacher among many. Larry was a member of Churchill Downs Turf Club, the Louisville Country Club, Dennbar Club and the Pendennis Club. The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses at the Masonic Home Dialysis Center for the special care they gave to the “Boss.” – Memorial gifts to K.O.D.A. and Visually Impaired Preschool Services
