Larry earned a degree in Business Management from Mount St. Mary’s College and an MBA from Hood College and had a successful career in cost accounting for many years. One of Larry’s proudest accomplishments was establishing The Grove Foundation Fund supporting the greatest needs of veterans and soldiers residing in Maryland.

As a passionate golfer, his favorite place to be was with friends and family at Penn National Golf Course Larry was also a great cook of traditional American fare, an avid moviegoer, a dedicated gardener, and a lover of nature and animals.

Surviving are his wife, Deborah Price Grove and children: Scott (Dawn), Randy (Lisa), Jason, Kelly Horning (Steve) and Jamie, and his grandsons Daniel, Hunter, Colby, Ryan, Braden, and Asher.

Larry Grove will forever reside in our hearts and minds as a beacon example of man’s commitment to kindness and land stewardship and will be greatly missed.

A cause that lived in Larry’s heart was the protection of Maryland's wildlife so, to honor his memory and in lieu of flowers, the family requests a memorial donation to the Second Chances Wildlife Center, a non profit that rehabilitates injured, ill, and orphaned wildlife.
