Larry (Poppy) peacefully passed away on March 11, 2020 at his home surrounded by his family following a long battle with the effects of Agent Orange contamination from his service during the Vietnam War. Larry was born in Oklahoma City May 8, 1947 to Leonard & Lillie Splitt. Larry attended U. S. Grant H. S. & during his senior year enlisted in the U. S. Navy, serving from 1964 to 1967. Following his discharge he returned to Oklahoma City & began his career as an Aviation Sheet Metal Mechanic at T. A. F. B, retiring after 30 plus years of service. Larry was an avid golfer & fisherman, but nothing was more important to him than spending time with his family & his service to his country as a Seabee in the U. S. Navy. Even through his final battle, he lived his life with a "Can Do" attitude. He will be greatly missed by his family & all those lives he touched.

He is survived by his wife Donna of 54 years;
Sons Richie Splitt & his wife Jill;
