After the mill closed, Larry became a real estate agent and later had a career in land investment. After a long wonderful career, he retired to do what he loved the most, which was taking care of the family farm. He always worked hard to maintain the land he loved. Larry and his wife Joanne had a dedicated marriage with a lot of wonderful memories.
