Larry owned and operated Marotta Grading and Paving for 40 years. The company left their mark all over the Monterey Peninsula, including the beautiful fountain that he did with his son-in-law, Jovtte Rivera on Cannery Row. Larry was an avid golfer and even made a hole in one! He thoroughly enjoyed western movies, especially ones with John Wayne. He and his wife loved to travel and went to Hawaii, Mexico and Europe. While vacationing in Hawaii and Mexico, as a PADI diver, he enjoyed diving among the beautiful reefs.

Larry was always up for a good time, and loved to joke around. He loved spending time with family and friends.

Larry’s ashes, along with his wife’s, will be scattered in the Monterey Bay at a later date.
