Larry owned and operated LB Auction Co. along with his family for over 40 years. He took a lot of pride in preparing every auction for every client.

He loved assisting kids in preparing livestock animals for shows and loved attending the shows. Larry was an active member of The United Methodist Church in Courtney. One of Larry’s favorite things to do was taking road trips with his wife, even when the destination was unknown.
