Larry W. Lippiatt Sr. 1939

Jun 8, 2023

SALEM — Larry Wayne Lippiatt Sr., 83, of Salem, passed away after a short illness on Monday, June 5, 2023.

He was born July 21, 1939, at the family home in Salem. He was the son of the late Roy Edward and Eleanor Ford Headland Lippiatt.

Larry was a lifetime area resident and a 1957 graduate of Greenford High School. He then obtained his training to become a machinist.

He worked for 32 years at NRM in Leetonia, five years at McNeil-NRM in Akron and 20 years at Firestone Sheet Metal in Salem.

He was a member of the East Goshen Friends Church, but most recently, was attending Locust Grove Baptist Church. Larry had more than just family he loved to spend time with; his most recent love was a 2016 Corvette. He also held a Ham Radio General Class license under the call sign "N8MRV." He also was very meticulous about the outside of his house and how the lawn was trimmed.

On June 9, 1960, Larry married the love of his life, the former Patricia Mann. They enjoyed 63 wonderful years together. In addition to his wife, he loved spending time with his "boys" — his son, Wayne; his grandsons, Joe and Jesse; and his great-grandsons, Bryson and Wyatt. This was his special gang, with whom Larry loved to hang out. There was not a thing that he would not have done for each and every one of them.

Also, left to cherish his memory is his daughter-in-law, Barb, who would have lunch with him whenever she could. And, we can't forget, his feline daughter, Mitzy. Larry was from a very close family he left behind, who will miss him very much, including his brother, Roger (Nancy) Lippiatt; and sister, Debra (Don) Douty; his sister-in-law, Linda Mann; two nieces; two nephews; four great-nieces; and three great-nephews.

Besides his parents, Larry was preceded in death by his brother, Donald in 1960.

A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, June 10, 2023, for his family, followed by burial in Washingtonville Cemetery.

A time of visitation for friends and family will be 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, June 10, 2023, at Arbaugh-Pearce-Greenisen & Sons Funeral and Cremation Services, Salem.
