Larry married Linda Christopher March 6, 1993 in Idalou, TX. Together they made many miles, Larry taught Linda how to drive his 18 wheeler and she went on the road with him, visiting 48 states. He hauled cattle for years, then most recently petroleum. Larry made many friends who were like family thru the years driving a truck. He also was a welder and built trailers and could fix anything. He also was dedicated to Brownfield Co-op for several years hauling fuel. In his spare time Larry enjoyed watching rodeos, especially bull riding. He was strong in his faith, a Reverend and assistant pastor, who read his bible and devotional every morning.
