Graduated from the University Of Oklahoma, Larry spent years of his professional life in Sales at Freightliner of Tulsa. He remained active in the trucking industry until his passing. A natural athlete, Larry was not one to sit around. He always had home projects brewing, but was ever ready to takeoff for a tennis match at Shadow Mountain when a call came. Larry's first wife, Sally Love Hoilien passed away in 1979. He and Jill Byrne Hoilien were married, then remained good friends. Larry served in Vietnam in the Fifth Special Forces of the US Army. He benefited greatly from the VA and other fellow veterans. Always a talker, he enjoyed visiting with neighbors while tinkering with his stable of red cars... He enjoyed serving at Alive Church and the fellowship provided there. He was happy to live 'on the water' in his final years Survivors include Trent A Hoilien, (Lorraine) and their three sons, Hunter, Tyler and Logan; Ashlee M. Newton, (Jon) and son, Porter and daughters, Maggie and Gracie. The Oklahoma grandkids always looked forward to trips at the lake with Dadoo!
