Larry E. Smith, Sr., age 73, of Harborcreek, passed away peacefully into the arms of his loving Savior, in the company of his family, on Saturday, November 30, 2019, following a lengthy illness. He was born in Conneaut, OH on August 14, 1946, son of Dorothy Lawyer Smith of Harborcreek and the late Earl Smith.

He was employed by Smith Meters for 35 years prior to his retirement. Larry was a member of South Harborcreek United Methodist Church. He served as a Little League coach for many years, was a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan as well as an avid hunter and fisherman. Larry enjoyed the outdoors and was a co-owner of a much-loved hunting lodge in Trout Run, PA.
