As well as many nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends who loved him.

His children are Pamela and Warren Scheibe, of Lake Arrowhead, California; David and Emily Hardell of Navarre, Florida; Joe and Catrina Hardell of Menifee, California; Debbie and Glen Renner of Paxton, Florida; and Karen Hardell of Milton, Florida.

The family is gathering in an informal remembrance at Larry’s home, in Crestview. He will be interred with Bobbie at Fort Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola at a future date.
