He was a straight shooter, known for his sincerity and his strong moral compass but also for his deep love and unwavering support as a father and grandfather.

Larry had a passion for life's simple joys. He loved spending time on the golf course, following the excitement of NASCAR and relaxing to a classic John Wayne film. His admiration for "The Duke" was unwavering.

He is survived by his three children, Connie Douglass of Cincinnati, OH. Betsy (William) Douglass Vannatta of Taylorsville, KY. and Don Douglass of Middletown, OH., four grandchildren, Tasha (Robert) Douglass Spenny, Elizabeth Vannatta Sawyer Vannatta, Avery (Regan) Vannetta and his five great-grandchildren, Madelyn, Aubrey and Jackson Spenny, Henry and Arlo Vannatta.
