Passed away on Sunday, March 16th, 2025.
Beloved husband of Barbara Davis (nee Stovall); devoted father of Laura (the late Don) Fritschie, Tracey (Scott) Ashwell, and Scott (Colleen) Davis; adoring grandfather of Emily, Jack, and Grace Ione Fritschie, Kaitlyn (Zach) Fensterman, Erin and Colin Ashwell, and Zachary Davis; dearest son of the late Dave Davis and Mary Davis (nee Connors); loving brother of Dale Davis, Sue (Rick) Gould, Rick (Mary) Davis, and the late Terry Davis; our dear uncle, great uncle, cousin, and friend.
Larry was a proud alumnus of St. Michael’s the Archangel School, Bishop Dubourgh High School, and Southeast Missouri State University. He served his country as an artillery soldier in Vietnam and dedicated 35 years to teaching high school math and physics, touching the lives of countless students.
He was married to the love of his life for 55 years, and together they raised their three children in a house full of love and laughter. Larry was never shy about being silly and had a knack for fitting a joke or pun into any conversation. His family and friends were incredibly dear to him, and he always made them feel seen, heard, and valued. He will be missed by many.
In lieu of flowers, contributions made to World Central Kitchen or to the VA General Post Fund (please note to be used exclusively for vets) are greatly appreciated.

He was a friend and colleague, always conscientious and always fun.
Larry was jovial, aways interested in what you were doing, and had an ever-smile on his face. Condolences to Barb and the family.
