Resident Spotlight: Larry
Larry grew up in Modesto, California. One of his favorite childhood memories is going deer hunting with his dad. As a young father working early mornings, he would sometimes bring his oldest daughter to work, where she would sleep in a small room near the grain with a heater while he worked. It’s a memory he still looks back on fondly. Larry’s favorite job was being a supervisor at Tri Valley. He also worked at S&H Dairy in Oakdale, where he milked cows. One piece of advice he shares is, “All money isn’t good money.”
Larry stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and is a true people person. If you see him around Sunnyside, don’t hesitate to stop and say hello! His favorite food is Mexican food, and one of the things he enjoys most about Sunnyside is participating in the activities.
What makes Larry smile every day is being blessed with another day and getting to talk with his kids. He loves making others happy.
If Larry could leave the younger generation with one piece of advice, it would be: “Stay clean and never start.”
