Larry came out to ND and hunted the Badlands with me a couple of times and he also came to our camp for bear hunting in Manitoba .
He was one of the nicest people you could ever meet he always talked about retirement and what he was going to do after . It didnt work out within a year and a half after retirement he ended up with pancreatic cancer. It was very sad, he had just remarried after being single for 20 years and she died 3 months after Larry .
He loved the bow going to shoots and hunting and fishing . Larry lived close to Petersburg Ohio but in the country on what I think he said was the highest spot in Ohio .
