CLASS OF 1970
Olympia fields, IL

Larry's Story

Most classmates would remember me as the quarterback for our undefeated football team, which I believe is still the only unbeaten football team in the history of Rich Central. I was also on the basketball team, sharing MVP honors with Randy Huizenga. I attended the University of Wisconsin on a football scholarship, was the leader in total offense for our freshman team and made it to 2nd string on the varsity until a knee injury ended my football career. I majored in Education and received my BS degree. After graduation, I taught and coached at Rich South high school for 2 years in the late 1970's. In 1980 I began my career in the insurance business at Prudential Insurance in Illinois, working alongside fellow classmate/teammate Chuck Deerwester. I moved up the management ladder with Prudential, relocating to Denver Colorado in 1983 and lived in Ft. Collins, Denver, and Colorado Springs for 16 years until 1999. I was the Managing Director for Prudential's operations in Northern Colorado, Denver and Colorado Springs untill 1999. During that time I met my wonderful wife, Danette. I also have 3 wonderful adult children, Shawna, Jeff, and John. In 1999, I was offered a state management position in Arizona, where we lived for 6 years until 2005 and built the operations in Phoenix and Tuscon. In 2004 I was recruited by America...Expand for more
n National Insurance and became the Regional Director for all agency operations for the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Hawaii. We also relocated to Rocklin, California as part of the transition, living in Rocklin and currently Fair Oaks, California. We are 2 hours west of Lake Tahoe and 2 hours east of San Francisco. Our daughter lives in San Francisco and our sons live in Denver and Ft. Collins, Colorado respectively. We have been blessed to travel all over the world thru my company's conferences, including trips to Prague, Sydney, various countries of Europe, and many tripst o Hawaii (for work) :). My various hobbies include riding our custom motorcycle chopper, snow skiing, golf, playing the drums and guitar ( I was part of a rock band in Junior High :)) We recently attended the 45th class reunion in Illinois and had an absolutely wonderful time reconnecting with old friends, teammates, and even meeting some new friends. A highlight of the reunion was the attendance of football coaches Chuck Colin and Larry Rostron, who I contacted and invited a few weeks before the reunion. I have lived a truly blessed life so far, have an amazing wife and 3 wonderful children that have brought me much pride and joy. My future plan is simple...work less, live long, and love more...and be a spoiling grandpa. :)
