Larry was born in OK but lived most of his life in TX until his last years. Larry was my mother's second husband. They were married in March 1973. He and his first wife, Mary Hudson, had lived in Waco, TX before moving to Dallas. She was buried there after a long illiness.
After Mom married Larry, they lived in her condo in Dallas. He sold his home in Dallas to my husband and I just before we moved to TX. My son didn't have a grandfather at the time I married; Larry had had no children, so Chris became his first grandchild. It was a blessing especially after my divorce.
He was very proud of the three years he spent at the Oklahoma University in Norman where he worked as a busboy in a sorority. Since Mom was from Nebraska, they got into friendly debates especially during NE-OU weekends. During WWII, Larry served as a sergeant in the Army Air Force in Texas.
Larry worked at LTV in Arlington. He had property in East Texas which he and Mom would spend long weekends. Sometimes we would accompany them. They traveled a lot when they first married - they went to Hot Springs for their honeymoon and to the Kentucky Derby for another trip - and drove back and forth between Michigan and Texas several times. Michigan is where my family grew up and my siblings still lived.
Larry was very good to Mom. As he got on in age, he was less likely to travel, but encouraged Mom to do so. They did go on a Caribean cruise for their 25th anniversary which they both enjoyed.
One of Larry's sister's had a home in Purcell, OK where he'd grown up. When she died, she left it to him. They planned to have some remodeling done. Just after they moved to Purcell in 1995, Mom had a heart attack so they couldn't stay at the house while the work was done. After she'd recovered, they were able to move into a spacious, one-floor home that was perfect for them just two blocks from the local hospital.
They both enjoyed their garden, short trips in the car, and drives to see his family. Although Larry was four years younger than Mom, he died in his sleep two years before her death. As Mom planned to be buried next to Dad, she had encouraged Larry to have his first wife moved to Hillside Cemetery so they could be buried together.
