I remember Larry breaking his leg playing soccer in junior high. He stepped in a hole and it snapped and he kept running because he didn't feel it. Later on, he said he thought he had a trash bag or something wrapped around his leg. He always had a smile on and could definitely make ya laugh when you least expected it.

wow this is a shock. I used to ride to school with Larry and his mom in elementary school. He was a great guy. I always knew he would be helping people. I give my sympathies to his family I know he will be greatly missed.
I remember seeing larry at the Marty Gra downtown just before he became a police officer. I was A TPD officer at the time, we talked most of the night. We stayed in touch after that and supported each other through "situational training". I really miss swapping stories with him. He was the best on the job, no other like him.
