In 1975, he moved his family to Springdale, Ark. to operate a motel. Larry's last job was working at the Springdale Youth Center. He loved going to the Naturals baseball games and watching his children and grandchildren play sports. If there was one thing he obsessed over it was John Wayne--he was an avid fan. He loved traveling with his wife and managed to travel to 50 states in his lifetime. Larry, who also liked to be called "Harley Worthit", brought so much humor to everyone's life. He was so loved and will be missed by so many. Larry's family wants to thank all friends and family who reached out to them during this difficult time.
