Larry Steven Hayter, Sr., born on January 23, 1956, in Norfolk, VA, passed away peacefully at his home in Blairstown, NJ, surrounded by his loving family on June 12, 2024.
Larry was the cherished son of Roscoe and Daisy (Chappell) Hayter. He grew up with his beloved siblings, Cheryl (husband Rick and children Keri and Karla), and Jerry (his children Devin and Mercedez). He is also survived by his sister-in-law Alice (her child Chrissy and grandnephews Dylan and Cole), and brother-in-law Manny.
Larry was the devoted husband of Mary Anne, with whom he shared almost 40 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a loving family that includes Larry Jr. (wife Suely), Kimberly, Alexsandra (husband Derek), Justin, and Becky (soon to be wife Leah). He was a proud granddad to Failen, Kyla, Eric, and Piper whom he loved beyond words.
A veteran, Larry served his country with honor in the Marines for four years. In his personal life, he was known for his deep love for his family, his passion for dancing and music, and his fondness for ice cream and gummy bears. Larry had a special affection for animals, always expressing his admiration with the words, "You're so pretty," even when he didn't have many words left. He leaves behind his beloved dog Millie and two cats, Smokey and Pumpkin.
Larry was a quiet man, but his storytelling skills were unparalleled. His smile could light up any room, always accompanied by his signature Crocs and a hairy fuzzy navel. He lived a life filled with love and joy, creating lasting memories with everyone he met.
Larry's last week was spent in the warm embrace of his family, in a home filled with love. His wife, Mary Anne, provided him with unwavering care and affection until the very end.
We will be holding an open celebration of life for Larry at Buck Hill Brewery in Blairstown on June 30 from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM. Please join us in celebrating the life of a remarkable man who touched so many hearts.
Larry's legacy of love, joy, and kindness will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
