A past member of St. Marys Rotary, Larry dedicated much of his time to improving his community. His passion for conservation led him to become involved with Pheasants Forever and Ducks Unlimited.
Larry’s commitment to his hometown extended further through his involvement with the St. Marys Chamber of Commerce. His leadership and enthusiasm were evident in his service on the Summerfest Committee, where he contributed for many years, helping to bring joy and celebration to the community he loved.
