He started working for Whittaker Awning putting up awnings and was a gas station attendant for a couple of years. One job he said he would never do again was working at a spaghetti warehouse. His first task at the spaghetti warehouse was to peel and chop a fifty-pound bag of onions. He never went back not even to collect his paycheck. Larry never ate onions again.

Pumping Unit Repair sold to Lufkin Industries there he drove a truck and was a crane operator. He worked with several oil companies. the last one being Southern Sierra as a supervisor on MacPherson Lease.
