He coached his sons in hockey for many years, and never missed his children's sporting events or milestones. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. Larry loved the mountains of Colorado and often referred to himself as a cowboy. He spent many summers there with his family in his younger years, and later bringing his own family to experience the joy of the mountains.
