Loving brother to Deborah O’Connor, Elizabeth Clifford and the late Mary Hubert, Eleanor and Margaret Clifford. Loving uncle to nieces and nephews. Great friend and Godfather to Lt. Gen. Luke and Kate Ahmann; their children, Jack, Wyatt, and Nora; Carolyn and Danny Craddock; their son, Lt. Maguire Craddock; and Nora and Butch Walker; their son, James. Larry was a proud Veteran of the U.S. Air Force and Vietnam, with 78 combat missions and 345 combat hours. He went on to become an academic with multiple PhD’s and advanced degrees, and used that knowledge to teach others throughout his life.
