Hiram Larry Snow, 88, passed away peacefully with his wife and children by his side on September 18, 2025, in Lexington, Kentucky. Larry was born on January 28, 1937, in Frostproof, Florida, to Hiram Vestor and Emma Johnson Snow. He grew up in Frostproof and graduated from Frostproof High School in 1954. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Florida State University in 1958. After college, Larry began his professional career with Boeing in Cape Canaveral, Florida. In 1959, he was called to serve his country in the United States Army, where he was stationed in Kentucky at Ft Campbell and Korea before completing his service in 1961. Upon returning home, Larry resumed his career with Boeing before joining General Dynamics at Cape Canaveral in 1963. He went on to dedicate more than three decades to General Dynamics, contributing to projects that supported America's presence in space and defense. He retired as Chief of Accounting after 32 years of service.

That same year, Larry married the love of his life, Donna, a schoolteacher from Bell County, Kentucky. Together, they built a life rooted in faith, hard work, and family, settling in Merritt Island, Florida, where they raised their two children. Larry was deeply devoted to his family-a proud husband, father, and grandfather who found joy in every milestone and memory they shared.

Larry is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Donna Snow; his daughter, Lisa Snow Woodard and her husband Glen; and his son, Todd Snow and his wife Kim. He was a proud grandfather to Brandon (Angela), Brenson, Bryan, and Brayden (Kassie), and cherished his role as great-grandfather to Lincoln and Carter. He is also survived by many extended family members and friends.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents and his twin sister, Jeanette Wells of Lakeland, Florida.

He will be remembered for his quiet strength, his steadfast love for his family, and the values he instilled in those who knew him best.

Care Cremation & Funeral Service is honored to be entrusted with final care.
