Larry married the love of his life and his best friend, Janie Marie Engelking, on March 16, 1963 at Peace Lutheran Church in San Antonio, Texas.  Together they have shared nearly 57 years of raising children and grandchildren and living a lifetime of memories that will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
