Larry and Dalenda were looking forward to celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary this spring on an Alaskan cruise. Larry was known as N5LDF in his amateur ham held radio community. He spent many hours talking with people all over the world. Larry was the "master" at tinkering around the house on various projects. Larry loved his Goldwing Harley Davidson. He always had a good time riding his bike and going camping at Iron Mountain every year. Larry also had a passion for cars and still talked about his Camaro from his younger days. After he met Dalenda, he could be seen driving his sporty white Jeep that had the license plate on the front that read Dalenda's Baby. He was preceded in death by his parents.
