Before One Tree Hill began, Larry was married to Anna Sawyer but she died in a car crash one day she went to pick her daughter Peyton at school. Since Peyton didn't know she was adopted and he didn't want to cause her more pain, he never told her that her "real" mother was actually Ellie Harp and prevented the latter from getting anywhere near Peyton during the following years.

At the end of the season, he went for another contract and also took Jake Jagielski and his daughter Jenny away from Tree Hill in order to protect them from Nikki, the baby's mother.

He was mostly absent during season 2 and came back in season 3 when Ellie Harp showed up at his house doostep. He was at first reluctant to let her see Peyton (just like he was during her numerous attempts before) but changed his mind when he discovered she had a breast cancer ans was dying. He also welcome Brooke Davis in his house after she moved out of her appartment and advised his daughter to follow her heart to know who to be with, making her choose Jake over Pete Wentz from Fall out boy.
