Larry was born on August 6, 1940, in Detroit, Michigan to Gerald and Anne (Cannon) Seitz. He attended St. Cecelia's grade school and high school in Detroit. After graduation, he enlisted in the US Air Force and was stationed at Offutt AFB in Belleview, NE, where he met his future wife, Carol. They were blessed with two children, Larry Jr. and Stacy. During their marriage, Larry had several jobs including sales and small loan finance.
