They loved Branson, Missouri, and would vacation there yearly for one to two weeks at a time to see the shows. After retiring, they lived on Shafer Lake in Monticello, IN. While residing in Monticello, Larry served on the sewer board, serving his community, as he did all through his life from age 11 on.
