He served Jefferson County on the Education Service District. He was incredibly proud of receiving his 50 year award from the Masonic Lodge this past year.  He was a member of the United Methodist Church and was an active member of Methodist Men as long as his health allowed.  He was a founding member of the Madras Rifle, Archery & Pistol Association.  Larry and Mina delivered Meals on Wheels in the Madras area for several years.
