In 1976 he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from The Ohio State University. He retired after 33 years of service with Altria Corporation. He was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Landeck. Larry was a man who was for so many a calm and loving voice during their times of trouble: providing guidance when they had lost their way. He taught those around him so many things, how to shoot a fade-away, trap a muskrat, cast a line and most importantly how to love without end. He was full of life, a man from whom you were guaranteed a hundred laughs. He gave his time, resources and life to others to make their lives better. He was a man who saw the sparkle in others that no one else could. He was a great Father, Husband, Brother and Man. His Farewell Services... Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Landeck, Father Dennis Walsh officiating. Visitation will be on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 from 2-8 p.m. at Strayer Funeral Home with a parish wake service at 7:30 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to the Cedar House Group Home where his sister Nancy resides.
