Larry earned an AA from Contra Costa College, a BS in Business Administration and Management from the University of San Francisco and an MBA in International Marketing from Golden Gate University. He also did post graduate studies in Risk Analysis at the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School.

Larry served in the National Guard, was on the Board of Golden Gate University and the Pet Network in Incline Village, and was a member of CERT in Incline Village. Larry loved to race his '66 GT40 and 2015 Z06 Corvette. He also enjoyed taking his '66 GT40 to shows, and was awarded an entire room of trophies. Larry also enjoyed fishing, watching Formula 1 racing and spending time with his dogs. A man with a dry sense of humor, Larry could tell a great joke. He was considered a man's man, and a "real cool dude" amongst his peers, fun to spar with. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Julie Marigold. Services were private.
