Larry was born on February 19, 1935 in Maydelle, Texas [see note at bottom] to Henry and Evelyn Hock. He grew up in the Port Arthur-Beaumont area and graduated high school in Port Acres, Texas in 1953.
At age 18, he joined the Air Force and served and lived in various places, including Turkey, Germany, and the Philippines. He was transferred to Webb Air Force Base in Big Spring in 1964 and became a Midland resident shortly thereafter.
