Retired from Maplewood Imports where he was a Mercedes and Porsche expert, Larry spent 40 years in the car business. He was proud that his customers returned because he was always honest and helped them find what they wanted. An exceptionally kind and accepting man, Larry loved people like family. He was also adventurous, canoeing and camping in the Boundary waters every year, owning and driving Porsche convertibles, and he and Kathy spent many years riding Harleys, going to Sturgis and travelling all over the U.S. They also spent time in Europe, Egypt and Israel and kept returning to Paris, their first love. He leaves behind many friends.
