Larry Moretta Obituary
age 73, of East Canton, passed away suddenly at his home Monday, July 28, 2014. He was born May 31, 1941 in Bergholz, Ohio and spent much of his youth in East Canton. He proudly enlisted and served his country in the U.S. Army. Upon returning from service, he raised his family in Louisville. He spent some time in Florida but eventually retired back home in East Canton to a life of boating, fishing, golfing, reading and antiquing. Larry loved to tinker, was quite a handyman and could build or fix just about anything.
He is survived by his daughter, Sharla (Steve) Moretta Caraboolad; son, Randy (Cora) Moretta; two grandsons, Matthew and Reece; two sisters, Dolores 'Dolly' Bowersox and Barb Weigand and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and grandpets. In addition to his parents, George and Helen Moretta, Larry is preceded in death by two brothers, George and Bill Moretta; brother-in- law, Glenn; sister-in-law, Nancy; faithful dog, Spooky and cat, Cleo.
In keeping with his wishes, cremation has taken place and a private memorial service will be held Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2014 at the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman. Condolences and special memories may be shared online at www.heritagecremation.com.
