Larry J. Jamison, 81, of Perryville, Clarion County, passed away peacefully while in the company of his loving family Sunday, July 9, 2023, at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Sewickley following a brief illness.
Larry was born in Cherry Valley, Butler County, on Jan. 8, 1942. He was the son of the late Raymond and Estella Ross Jamison.
He was a 1960 graduate of Moniteau High School. Larry attended the Six Points Church of God of Prophecy, and in his earlier years had been a member of East Unity Presbyterian Church in Cherry Valley.
Larry was a rigger at INDSPEC in Petrolia and retired in 2002 following more than 34 years of service. He had a strong work ethic and was a patriotic American.
Following his retirement, his wife encouraged him to attend a life screening. It was discovered that his right carotid artery was completely blocked and no longer had any function and the left carotid artery was 50% blocked. With the encouragement of his family, God's help, his will to stop smoking and the dedication of his doctors, his family and friends were blessed to enjoy over 20 more years with him.
In his earlier years, he participated in 4-H and enjoyed farm animals. His hobbies included hunting and gardening. He loved his cats, especially "Ikey" who survives him. He enjoyed going to breakfast and the fellowship of his friends at the Korner Restaurant in Rimersburg, where he felt at home. He also enjoyed dinner with his family at Bob's Place in Parker on Friday nights. He was a devoted husband, dad and grandpa and loved his family very much.
