He received his early education at the Victory Hill School north of Scottsbluff and graduated from Scottsbluff High School with the Class of 1968. He attended Hiram Scott College, Nebraska Western College and Chadron State College and was active in football and basketball, not only in high school but in college as well. Larry started Bluff’s Transfer in 1982 and he introduced Federal Express into the valley, when overnight shipping was a new concept. The business changed its name to Bluffco, Inc. in 1987 and evolved into many different businesses throughout the years. Larry was a hard worker and was well connected in the Scottsbluff-Gering Community. He not only ran many businesses throughout his life, but also farmed north of Scottsbluff for over 25 years. He always wanted to make sure that his family was provided for, and his grandchildren were foremost in his life. They affectionately loved to be with their “papa.” He loved to entertain at his Lake Minatare home and always wanted to see that everyone had a good time.
