Larry was the longest-serving port commissioner for the GLPC. He was a respected member of Masonic Lodge #427 and a Jerusalem Shriner. He brought joy to countless parade-goers as he captained a float for many years for the Krewe of Neptune. Larry was also a successful tugboat owner and an enthusiastic thoroughbred racehorse owner. His love for camaraderie extended to his lifelong love of golf and membership to Woodland West Country Club and weekly card games, where he enjoyed the company of friends and family.
Larry leaves a legacy of dedication and service to his community, but he mostly enjoyed spending time at the Big Griff camp in Grand Isle fishing and spending holidays with family.
