Larry Lee Gray was born on August 6, 1940, in rural Titonka [, IA], the son of Arnold and Sadie (Huisman) Gray. He attended Country School during first through eighth grade, and attended high school in Titonka, graduating in 1957. While in high school, Larry met his sweetheart, Kathleen Betels and they were united in marriage on March 28, 1959, at The Little Brown Church in Nashua [, IA].

Larry enjoyed pitching for various fast-pitch softball teams from the time he was in high school through the late 1970's.

While living and working in the Twin Cities, Larry met many new people and friends that loved him like family.
