Larry was a proud grandfather to Zack Miller (Kristina), Paige Garrison (Jeff), Paityn Draege (Colton), and Lukas Miller. His legacy continues in his cherished great-grandchildren Emerson Miller and Weston Garrison, and his beloved nephews and nieces.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from high school in Brownstown Illinois in 1957, Larry dedicated over 30 years of service to Yellow Freight before retiring. He eventually settled in Florida where he met the love of his life, Jan. He enjoyed his passion for golf, fishing, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Known for his radiant smile, striking blue eyes, and warm, outgoing personality, Larry brought joy to everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.<\/p>\n<p>A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, June 28, 2025 at Griffith Cemetery, rural Brownstown with Clayton Richison officiating, with a celebration of life and luncheon to follow in the Fellowship Hall at Liberty Christian Church, rural Brownstown.
