Lawrence "Larry" Sills, age 31, of Lancaster, passed peacefully from the loving arms of his family to the comforting arms of Jesus on September 6, 2013.

Born in Lancaster, PA, he was the son of Sandra Sills, Lancaster, with whom he resided and Robert Sills, Bayonne, New Jersey. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his brother, Daniel Sills of Lancaster. He is survived by his maternal grandmother, Gina M. Hill of Mount Joy. Larry is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by paternal grandparents Horace S. and A. Louise Sills and maternal grandfather Thomas E. Hill, Sr.

Larry was a 2003 graduate of Warwick High School. He was involved with the Lancaster Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 throughout his school years. He made many friends with the students and staff and he especially enjoyed ceramics, history, world cultures and shop classes.

Larry's passions included attending the United Disabilities Adult Enrichment day program for thirteen years, war history, Facebook, Jeopardy, Legos, movies, country music, discussing history and current events and sharing his gift of gab with his family and friends. Larry was a trivia buff and enjoyed sharing his knowledge with others. You would always see Larry with a smile on his face. Larry had a deep love for Jesus and was a member of St. John Neumann Catholic Church.

Larry was an honorary firefighter with the Rutherford Fire Department #1 in Harrisburg and a First Degree Knight and member of the Knights of Columbus Council 14081, Harrisburg. He lived life to the fullest each and every day and he will be lovingly missed by everyone who knew him. It was his endearing nature and his sense of humor that made an impression on everyone who met him. He battled with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, but he had a fighting spirit to not let this disease control his life.

The family would like to thank the dedicated doctors, nurses, aides, chaplains, therapists and staff at Adult Medicine Specialists, Roseville Pediatrics, Hershey Medical Center, Links 2 Care, Lehigh Valley Respiratory Care, Numotion, and Hospice and Community Care for their compassionate and supportive care of Larry over the years.
