Larry Stonestreet Obituary
Larry Velton Stonestreet, 76, of Spencer, passed away at his home, after an extended illness.
He was born September 11, 1945 at Sutton, the son of the late Bernard Hugh and Nettie Grace Lively Stonestreet.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Bernard ‘Leon’ Stonestreet.
Survivors include his children, Nathan Stonestreet of Masontown and Anna Smith of Norfolk, Va.; grandchildren, Lauren Stonestreet, Foster Grace Smith and Chamberlin Smith; sister, Linda Knight Jernigan of Charlotte, N.C.; as well as the friends and caretakers who gave Larry what he needed, even when it wasn’t what he wanted.
Larry was a retired owner and operator of several area oil and gas industry businesses. He served in the United States Air Force beginning in 1968 until his honorable discharge in 1972. Larry was a 1963 graduate of Spencer High School and a 1967 graduate of Glenville State College.
He was a lover of antique cars, particularly the British variety and jazz music both of which he shared many afternoons and evenings with like-minded people.
Larry enjoyed nature and caring for different types of wildlife near his home and elsewhere. He was a quiet, unassuming and helpful neighbor to many people during his life.
A private graveside service will be held at the Sugar Creek Cemetery, Gassaway with the Rev. Jack H. Roberts officiating. Military honors will be accorded by the USAF Honor Guard.
John H. Taylor Funeral Home, Spencer, is in charge of arrangements.

Some of my fondest high school memories involved Larry and his brother Leon. Larry was a year younger than me and was in the band. We all loved Larry and shared many happy times on bus trips to out of town ballgames. Leon and I were friends from 3rd grade through our senior year, and my husband and I continued to be friends with him until his passing 5 years ago. Their father Bernard grew up on Steer Creek with my dad so the family ties went back many years. I was blessed to see and talk with Linda at both her father’s and Leon’s memorial services. What a beautiful lady she is both inside and out. Leon always talked about his little sister and how he loved her. Larry was so proud of his children and always shared photos of Anna and Nathan. I met Nathan at Leon’s graveside service. I have many sweet memories of the Stonestreet family and will be praying for them tomorrow as they lay Larry to rest with his family. May God bless all of you!

My condolences to the Stone street families on the loss of Larry. He was an old-time gentleman and a very good friend. He never missed an opportunity to speak or have a conversation with me and my late husband, Bob. I teased him many times about trading my convertible for his. He will be miss not only by his family but by all who knew him and our community. Thank You Larry for your military service, it was greatly appreciated. God Bless
