Pops and Wiggle shared many snuggles and naps during their 11 months together, and Carson has gained the most loving Guardian Angel. Larry enjoyed playing golf with the SMGA at Hidden Valley Country Club, relaxing on the beach, traveling with his family and thanking God every day. He lived his life "one-day-at-a-time" and loved railroading, a fresh cup of coffee and a big slice of yellow cake with chocolate icing.
