Larry Sisler Obituary

Larry S. Sisler Ballston SpaLarry S. Sisler of 511 Devils Lane, Ballston Spa, NY, died sud- denly in a tragic accident on Tuesday, Feb- ruary 19, 2013. Larry was born January 1, 1957, in Sche- nectady, NY, to William and Betty Sisler.

He re- mained in Ballston Spa where he and Kathy owned and oper- ated a dairy farm on Devils Lane. During his life, Larry was a devoted father and husband who was as likely to be found cheering for the Burnt Hills wrestling team or outside the horse ring as he was working on his farm. He will be well remembered for his kind and giving heart. He was a wonder- ful friend who was always there whenever anyone needed a helping hand. Larry is survived by his wife, Kathy; their three children, Nicholas, Marisa, and Nathan; his mother, Betty Sisler, and sister, Betsy Wells both of Flor- ida; brothers, Thomas Sisler and James (Chip) Sisler of Bal- lston Spa; sister, MaryJo Guilia- nelli, and brother, William E. Sisler both of Texas; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. A Christian service will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday, Febru- ary 23, at the Burnt Hills United Methodist Church, Saratoga Road, Burnt Hills, followed by a reception at the church. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Sisler Chil- dren's Education Fund at Bal- lston Spa National Bank, P.O. Box 70, Ballston Spa, NY 12020.

Larry was a true old school farmer of the best traditions in the Ballston Area. As honest as the day is long, and always happy to help when any of us were in need. Larry and I spent many summer days riding our horses when we were kids, not to mention the fun we would have a the Saratoga County fair. Those were truly the good ole days, days that will remain in my heart forever. Enjoy those greener pastures my dear friend. My deepest sympathy to Kathy and the kids, and all the rest of your huge family.

It sure was a pleasure working with you. Sorry I never got out to visit. Thoughts and prayers with entire family.
