His 35 year career started as one of twenty first hires to start up the new Amoco Chemical Cooper River Plant in Wando, SC. Everyone knew to call Shu when something wasn't operating properly! He was also known for being the go-to guy for all his family and friends when they were in need. When not working, he enjoyed camping, traveling, and cruising the world. Larry especially loved family and his University of Alabama football! ROLL TIDE!
