Larry married Kathleen Berg on March 31, 1978 at the Calvary Baptist Church in Glasgow and the couple made their home Greats Falls from 1979 until 2015, when his daughter Denise moved him back to Glasgow to be closer. He lived at Nemont Manor tor three years and Prairie Ridge Village for two years. He moved to Valley View Home recently, where the staff and family took really good care of him.

Anderson Family: We have fond memories of Larry at Opheim High School. He was always fun to be around and always had a big smile on his face. We would see him at Nemont when visiting our late brother Hank and in Great Falls. Larry always had time for a little visit. Take care and God Bless! Sincerely the Clampitt sisters, Phyllis, Sheryl, and Roberta
