Larry was born October 18, 1951 in Melrose Park, Illinois to James and Catherine Carter. He graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in Political Science.
Larry began his career in the heavy equipment business working summers in high school. He continued as a salesman of Caterpillar equipment in Wisconsin and Texas before becoming an important presence in the construction, agriculture, and logging industries of Northern California. Throughout his more than 30 years with Peterson Tractor, Larry saw his coworkers and customers as true friends.
Larry was a simple, outgoing, fun-loving man who devoted his life to his family, his three sons, and his wife. He enjoyed a morning cup of coffee, a long walk with his dog, his Chicago sports teams, a Bloody Mary on the weekends, and an afternoon out at his favorite wineries.
Larry is survived by his wife Julie of 35 years, sons Matthew, Michael, and Marcus, his sister Connie (Bill) Fisher, and brother Thomas Carter
