During that time, he married Terri and created his second family, which gave him 2 more daughters. He was known as Poppie to 7 grandkids. Larry was also known as a jokester, a collector of basically everything and a friend to many people. He loved listening to music, riding his motorcycle, and mowing the grass. 

He leaves behind his wife, Terri, who was lovingly beside him until the very end. His children are Aimee Mears (Ronnie Mears), Jesica Hulen, Amanda Self (Chris Self).  His prized grandkids, Zach Mears of Nashville, Tenn., Ryland and Joseph Self of Elgin, Lesly and Joshua Greer, Harmony and Willow Martinez of Walters.

Rest easy, Dad. You are free now. We will never forget you. You were one of a kind.
