His other loves were camping, watching old western films, and old-style country music.    Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife Sheryl; his children Judy James, Lori (Bill) Carpenter, Barb (Marcus) Pressler, and James (Christine) Littrel; he is also survived by many grandchildren and great- grandchildren; and his sister Carol Akers.    In death, Larry rejoins his parents Leal and “Ted”; eight siblings; one grandson; and one great- grandson.
