  Larry Straub, 77, a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend passed away at home Sunday night, June 23, after a long, courageous battle. He was with his loving wife, Shirley, and his immediate family.

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.

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.
