Though Larry was a man of few words, he was known by many for his giving heart,sharp tongue and quick wit. His many passions included racing, both watching in person or on his beloved big screen, ebiking with Deanna; Fishing (he always had a pole with him) tinkering or washing his new truck, music (Keep it Loud!) and the thrill of finding treasures. Every Thursday, rain or sine, you could find Larry at State Park Speedway indulging on track food and soaking in the smell of fuel oil and burnt rubber, because you know there's nothing like it; or on the weekends he and Deanna would attend many eves of destruction or any race they could find. His adventurous spirit and love for the outdoors led him and whomever was with to exciting new experiences.

He is survived by his life partner DeAnna Eckardt. Children: Sarah St. John, Lawrence "Scooby" St. John (Emily), stepdaughter Stephanie Rampart; Grandchildren Cyrian, Ayanna, Kavarie, Lamaya, Kyaire, Nyla, Ember Devon, and Roman; Sister Renee (Roy) Olson and many nieces and nephews.

Larry will be deeply missed by all that knew him, from the park residents, at the many mobile home he was a maintenance technician of to a stranger, he would give the last dollar to if they needed it.
