Larry attended Saint Sylvester’s Grammar School, East New York Vocational High School, and RCA Institute. He moved to Maryland to pursue a career as a computer programmer with the Department of Defense. His career gave him the opportunity to travel, and upon his travels he met his wife, Christina. After settling down, he continued his career at the DOD and operated a successful electronics repair shop out of his home. When he finally retired, he enjoyed playing with his model trains, working on his computers, and cooking for a crowd.
