for many years from the Greensburg Barracks and retired honorably from the Kiski Valley Barracks in
1992. Larry married his loving wife, Judy A. Weiland Ross, on May 31, 2014, in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Together they loved to go dancing, travel the world’s beautiful beaches, camping, and spend countless
hours visiting with friends and family. He had a passion for hunting and fishing and loved to be
outdoors. Larry enjoyed working on projects at home but loved having a good cigar and bourbon with
friends even more.

around the neck.”
