Larry was a licensed electrician and in July 1983, opened Allman Electric Corporation in Fayetteville. Adhering to the motto, “First in Service, Second to None,” the company grew steadily and soon won the respect and admiration of local builders and contractors.  “Honest and hard-working” were the adjectives used most often to describe Larry Allman.

Larry was humbled and honored to be initiated as a member of the Fellowship of the Silver Spoon at Methodist College which recognizes individuals who, although not born to wealth and status, exemplify The American dream of success, not as the result of birth and station, but of hard work and clear thinking.

Getting family and friends together to sing Karaoke in the game room was a common event.  Everyone, including Larry, had their favorites and enjoyed entertaining the group.

Larry had a love for animals and great sense of humor. When he met Gina, she had two dogs named “Snap” and “Crackle”.  Larry was called “Pop” by the kids and grandkids, so he fit right in.
