Larry joined the U.S. Navy in 1947. Later he entered the U.S. Air Force. While in active service to our country, he met and married the love of his life, Billie Ruth Long. Larry served his country with passion and zeal for 26 plus years.
Larry leaves behind a family that he loved deeply and unnumbered friends that will miss his quick wit, jokes, and smiles. He left behind his children and their spouses, Deborah L. Coon, David L.

Larry truly appreciated and loved the staff at Pace Arcadia Assisted Living and Senior Center and Emerald Coast Hospice.

Rest in Peace Larry, you are so loved.
