He was blessed with 5 wonderful grandchildren who affectionately called him "Pappy" and always asked to check his left shirt pocket for certain edible items that their mom and dad may not approve of.
Larry was an avid fisherman, and deer and turkey hunter, and he loved teaching his family and friends about the sport. There have been many a whitetail deer and tom turkey taken out of the God's great woods due to Larry Carter. He could fix most anything and would always help others. He was a craftsman with leather, metal, wood and electricity. He loved creating and inventing.
