Larry was born to devoted parents Elizabeth (Bocian) and Albert Grohman on September 29th, 1943 in Chicago, Illinois. He grew up in Chicago and Matteson, Illinois. He entered the United States Navy out of High School in July of 1961 and served his country with honor as a radio operator. He was discharged into the reserves in September of 1964. He was in managerial positions with Ingersoll-Rand for 25 years. During that time, promotions took him to New Jersey, Texas, Tennessee and then back to Texas.

Larry married the love of his life, Paula Raso, July 23rd, 1977. Together they moved to Texas in 1991 where they owned and operated a Sir Speedy Printing franchise in North Richland Hills, Texas until 2011, when they retired to focus more time and energy on their family, friends and their golden years.

Larry had a love of the great outdoors, and could often be found hunting and fishing with family and friends. For many years he was a member of the Texas Gun Owners Shooting Club, the range being a place of refuge and relaxation for him.
