Lawrence B.
Love
July 12, 2016
Lawrence B. Love, 79, of Tremont, PA, formerly of Lancaster, passed away at Schuylkill Regional Medical Center, Tuesday, July 12, 2016. Born in Northfork, WV, he was the son of the late John L. and Hettie (Brewer) Love. Larry graduated from Montcalm High School, Montcalm, WV and proudly served in the US Marine Corps from 1954-1957 during the Korean War. Following his honorable discharge, Larry worked as an auto body mechanic for Harold's Garage, Autohaus VW, and Lancaster County Motors before starting his own business, Love's Automotive, in 1972. He ran the business until his retirement in 1988. Larry was a dirt modified race car driver, racing at Reading Fairgrounds, Flemington, Bridgeport, Nazareth, and Penn National. His family remembers spending their weekends at the race track. He loved to talk, had an infectious smile, and was one of a kind. Larry is survived by his children: Pamela McDonald, wife of Bill, of South Jordan, UT; Suzanne Lapp, wife of Doug, of East Petersburg; Lawrence Travis Love, of Lancaster; and Keith Love, of Leola; his grandchildren: Kyle, husband of Heather; Amy, Jeffrey, Courtney, and Steven; a great-granddaughter, Savannah Wright, and his brother, Richard Love, of Powhatan, VA. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brothers Robert and Albert Love. The family would like to thank all of his caregivers at Tremont Nursing Home for taking good care of him. Everyone at the nursing home loved Larry and enjoyed his stories. When he walked the halls, every resident knew Larry. The family will have a special drop-in time for sharing memories from 2-6PM, Saturday, July 23, 2016, at the home of Sue Lapp, 2466 State St., East Petersburg 17520. The family would love to hear your stories of their father, so please stop in and share your memories. Please park on the side streets. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family in Amelia, VA.
