Larry did various truck driving jobs and Brenda worked at Safeway until she retired. Larry and Brenda both enjoyed many years of camping with family and attended as many of their grandchildren’s sporting events as possible. The pair enjoyed dancing and even continued to dance together at the social events they had at the Meadow Ridge Home (where Larry resided for the past year. The past year, Brenda made a point of going to the home almost daily so she and Larry could still be together. They both had a soft spot for their cat, Molly, who is going to be lost without their constant attention.
