He worked for Asarco for over 30 years, owned his own barber shop, and retired from Occidental. Always keeping himself busy Larry enjoyed doing all sorts odd jobs. Building Prams, woodworking, and flipping houses before it was even a thing. Purchasing run down houses he would with the help of his family remodel them and then rent them out. He even bought a house where the space needle was built and had it barged to Tacoma and placed on the lot (that was purchased by trading a boat) next to where they built their current home. Larry built a sawmill, worked on boats, made chicken and pigeon coops, sheds, whirligigs, bird houses, and worked on cars. He had a knack for looking at a project or pattern and was able to make it. If it was broke Larry could fix it. He enjoyed fishing, going to auctions or garage sales, riding his lawnmower taking care of several yards, and going to the casino.
