Lawrence served proudly in the Marine Corp as a Sergeant during the Korean War. While stationed in California, he met the love of his life, Beverly. They spent 57 blissful years as man and wife before Bev passed in 2013. Larry was known as a generous, hard-working, and high-spirited man. His sparkling blue eyes and infectious smile touched everyone he met. He spent his career in sales, rising through the ranks to become Vice President of a successful chain of retail stores throughout Illinois & Wisconsin. He later helped grow a golf empire, selling accessories and equipment. He patented a mechanism for one of the first Putting Partner golf accessories. Larry and Beverly spent their retired years in Sun City, AZ where they enjoyed golfing and playing cards with friends and family. For fun, Larry was an avid golfer, handball player, runner, fisherman, all-around Chicago sports fan and college football fan.
