He was with his loving wife, Shirley, and his immediate family. Larry grew up on a farm in Dauphin County and was a graduate of Upper Dauphin High School, where he was captain of his high school football team. Larry was the son of the late Harry and Hilda Straub, and the brother of Miles, Arabel, Charlie, Harry Jr., Leo, Ronny, Delroy, Mary, and Glenn. Larry and Shirley built a home in Klingerstown, Schuylkill County, where he lived for the rest of his life. "Pap" was a lifelong coal miner, beginning to mine shortly after graduating high school. He retired in 2004 after over 40 years working underground. Along the way he built a home, raised three daughters, and loved five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. For decades he worked at the mine most Saturdays, yet still managed to join his sons-in-law, grandsons and granddaughters on hunting and fishing trips. For many years he could be found at his camp on the Susquehanna River or up in Potter County, enjoying a Yuengling and mowing grass. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Shirley (Hoffman) and daughters: Christine (Peg) married to Mike (Chap) Wiest, Sherry married to George Bayus, and Stacey married to John Wargins; also his grandchildren: Shanna (Wiest) married to Joe Terroso, Scott Wiest married to Jillian, Maddie Wargins, Ridge Wargins, and John Paul Wargins; and two great grandchildren Levi and Luke Terroso.
