Larry was a member of Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church, where he was an altar boy and server growing up.  Larry went to Visitation Parish School until the 8th grade and attended East Huntingdon High School.  Years ago, helped his brother repair refrigeration units for local restaurants and social clubs.  He also worked in the kitchen at Seven Springs Ski Resort.  He was a member of the First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association.  He enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, sitting on the front porch enjoying the view, and cutting grass all while having a smile on his face.  Larry also enjoyed polka music, and listening to his favorite Johnny Cash, who he got to see in person at the Uniontown State Theatre.      

Larry is survived by his loving family, his niece with whom he resided, Cynthia Haines (Roger); his nephew, Richard Haas; and by his cousins, Betty Lou Wacko, and Colt Fosbrink (Brittany) and their son Apollo.  In addition to his parents, Larry was preceded in death by his siblings, Joseph E.
