At the age of 17, he joined the United States Marine Corps and completed one tour in Vietnam. After Vietnam, he was stationed at Camp Pendleton in Southern California. There he met the love of his life, Sandra Kay Koci. They married on April 14,1972 and had 3 girls- Jeana, Christy and Sherry.

In 1980, Larry moved his family to Arkansas and changed their lives forever. It is here that he accepted The Lord as his Savior and dedicated his life to serving his Lord. He eventually surrendered to preach and pastored several churches as well as becoming a missionary in Las Vegas, NV where he started Lone Mountain Missionary Baptist church and an awesome homeless ministry.

After retiring from the ministry to Texas in 2013, he felt led to take a pastorship in Springer, OK, where he served out his days leading the wonderful members of Springer Missionary Baptist Church in several outreach programs and serving their Lord.
