Known for his honesty, dependability, and strong work ethics, he eventually opened his own business, Hill Heat and Air, before retiring and returning to his home state of Arkansas. He enjoyed Arkansas Razorback sports, especially baseball, and found peace in fishing and gardening. In recent years, he especially cherished time with his beloved dog, Susie, who was his pride and joy. Above all, Larry loved his family and was most proud of his children and grandchildren , and treasured time spent together. Even when he could no longer remember every name, he always knew the joy of being surrounded by family and delighted in their gatherings. His life reflected the character of a godly man, honest, trustworthy, gentle, patient, and kind. He loved deeply and unconditionally.

Larry Don leaves behind a legacy of faith and family. He fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. His faith is now sight, and he rests in the eternal promise of his Savior.
