Larry Scott Vaught was born on April 3, 1936 in Central City, Kentucky to Fuqua and Eddith Vaught.  He is survived by his wife of nearly 65 years, Freida of Jacksonville, FL. He leaves behind their 3 children; son Eric (Saundra), daughter Inga (Rick), and son Chad (Diana). Larry is also survived by his brother Donald and his sister Carol (Dale). Together, Larry and Freida have 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Linda.

Larry worked as a Computer Programmer and Programming Manager for Trans-Tel for 35 years and later served as the Finance Director for Nassau County Sherriff's Office for 10 years.  Larry served in the United States Army's 26th Infantry Regiment until 1960 and was honorably discharged after serving overseas in Germany. Larry enjoyed reading and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Throughout his life, Larry was a dedicated and avid supporter of Kentucky Wildcat basketball and St. Louis Cardinals baseball.  Larry leaves behind a legacy of quick, witty responses, creating a jingle out of anything, silly jokes and a love of chocolate. His kindness and abiding love will be dearly missed by friends and family.
