During high school, Connie Buchanan caught Larry's eye. She has been by his side for 60 years. Together, they raised five children. Larry was a committed husband and a devoted family man and always an example of honesty and integrity. He was an avid baseball fan; a passion that he shared with his father.

Larry began his career with the Idaho State Tax Commission as an Income Tax Auditor in 1960. He worked his way up to the position of Chief Income Tax Auditor and then Tax Policy Specialist, interpreting tax law for the State Legislature.
