Larry worked his way up to District Manager of Kimball Glass and in May 1993 he and his son Stephen opened Cooks Glass. They ran a successful business and Larry retired in 2000.

In December 2006, Larry and Eleanor moved to Fountain, Colorado to be close to their oldest son, Lee and their twin grandchildren, Courtney and Chance.
