Larry worked proudly as a dairy farmer in Dickerson, MD for sixty one years, working fifty five of those years for his dear friends Harry and Fannie Ensor of Maryland Hopewell Farms near Sugarloaf Mountain. Larry took great pride in caring for the herd and managing the dairy operations of the farm, demonstrating a level of compassion, commitment and humility that serves as an example to his community and all who knew him.
Gracious and generous to everyone, Larry established long lasting and impactful relationships in his community and with his extended family.
