Larry Slaymaker Obituary

Mr. Larry Slaymaker, age 64, of High Springs, FL passed away at home on Monday, January 13, 2014. He was born December 22, 1949 in West Palm, Florida, son of the late Red and Ann Slaymaker. He resided in West Palm until moving to North Florida in 1988. Larry graduated from Riviera Beach High School in 1967 and was a member of I.B.E.W for 30+ years. He created the successful nursery Slay's Trees in 1988.  Even though he retired in 2011, he continued to remain active with the business.   If Larry couldn't be found in his workshop, chances are he was spending time with family and friends in the woods or on the water.  Everyone enjoyed Larry's passion for life and giving spirit.
Larry is survived by his wife of 44 years, Jeanette; three children: Jeremiah (Janet) Slaymaker, Justin (Wrenda) Slaymaker, Jessica (John) MacLaren; 7 grandchildren; sister MaryAnn Beyer; brother Richard (Rose) Slaymaker; brother Michael (Cindy) Slaymaker. He is preceded in death by his brother James Slaymaker.
The family will receive relatives and friends at 1:00, Saturday, January 18th at Slay's Trees Farm in celebration of his life.

Another good guy gone, my profound sympathy to you all. Larry's mom and my mom went to church together in Lake Park, my Great Aunt Mary Pearson rented an apartment from Red and Ann, they were so kind to her. Larry and I went to school together. I remember our families standing on shore watching boat races on Lake Worth, way back. So many good memories of the whole family.
