He dedicated over 45 years of his career to the Construction/Engineering business and headed up the construction of the AUL Building in Downtown Indianapolis as well as many other Downtown Indianapolis construction projects. Larry was such a modest man and often talked about that particular job saying his workers were the real reason the job was such a success. Larry played football at Cathedral High School and is remembered as being one of the best players on his team. He loved watching football, his favorite team Notre Dame; he also loved to play golf, basketball and even refereed basketball. He was first and foremost a family man, always putting his family first, he enjoyed boating with the children and grandchildren; loved spending time in Florida on the beach with his wife and family and made many wonderful friends at his favorite resort En Soleil. Larry and Robin recently moved to the Geist area and he loved spending time on the screened-in porch looking at the water and watching all the boaters and wildlife.
