In 1968, Larry moved his family to Redmond, WA where he worked as a civil engineer for the city. He retired from the city of Redmond and moved with his wife Marian to Anacortes so they could enjoy the beautiful Puget Sound. Larry spent many summers with his family boating in the San Juan Islands. He especially enjoyed clamming, crabbing and fishing and the comradery of fellow boaters.
