Following their marriage, the couple moved to California, near the Bay Area. Larry started working for the Pipefitters Local Union #342. They eventually moved up into northern part of the state, where they raised their family. Larry enjoyed being outside, spending his time in the woods and mountains. He also liked to go fishing and play golf. Larry loved his family, and was the greatest husband, father and grandpa ever. He was always helping others and really enjoyed spending time with all of his grandchildren. The couple moved back to Dickens, Iowa in 2001, so Cheri could be closer to her family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Les Jordan and two nephews: Bobby Jordan and Daniel Lawson.
