Larry has fourteen grandchildren and they all live close enough so that he gets to see them play. Many of them enjoying the same sports that Coach Nemerow played and coached.

Larry considers himself lucky enough to spend most of his time with his best friend and lifelong companion, Lynn. They live on a property filled with nature and space and feel like they live in the middle of a park. He spends time gardening, watching local animals and his gardens, and working in his woodworking shop. He rides his bike from his house nearly every day accumulating 3000+ miles each year.
