Larry was a lifelong resident of Butte, although he would have called Alder Mt. his second home. He spent summer and fall in Alder with his fishing and hunting buddies. Larry’s adolescent years were spent working on the Gornick Ranch in Waterloo Mt. He truly loved his summers milking cows, riding horses and changing the sprinkler pipes in the potato fields. The Gornicks became Larry’s second family and lifelong friends. Larry graduated from Butte High School in 1969. He enlisted in the Navy Reserve when he was a senior. He served in the Navy after his graduation for two years, until being honorably discharged.
Larry was a gifted musician, learning to play the piano and accordion early in his life, he also played drums and guitar in several local bands. He particularly loved playing at the Polka Fest later in life. Larry owned and operated Master Cleaners in Butte for over 40 years, he enjoyed serving his customers and being able to work with his family.

My sincere condolences go out to Larry’s family — Diane and Dan especially. All of the Sharons, Paul, Jean, and Larry were so much fun to get together with. A very lively crew. The music was special as was the friendship!!!
I am sorry Larry had to go at such a young age.

To anyone in touch with Larry’s family, I’d help save his house and shop on Walnut Street from getting ripped down by the city. It’s a good old place.
