Larry Gene Crawford, 66, of Pryor, passed from this life on Sunday, March 27, 2022, at his home. He was born on July 5, 1955; the son of Bill and Retta (Grigg) Crawford. Larry was an all-state athlete in high school and a quarterback for both Southern Methodist University and Kansas State University.  In his later years, he enjoyed playing church league softball, water skiing, snow skiing, racquet ball, and running.  On the weekends, Larry enjoyed western swing dancing at the casino. He loved the outdoors, landscaping and maintaining a beautiful lawn. He even generously took care of his neighbors' lawns. He followed in his parent's footsteps owning and operating three clothing retail businesses throughout the state of Kansas.
