Larry Lenardos, 82, of North Canton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on May 24, 2025, at Aultman Hospital. He was born on August 8, 1942, to the late Nick and Betty Lenardos.
He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Shirley Lenardos; his daughter, Rhonda Blue (Dan); granddaughters, Grace Blue and Anna Wagner (Noah); and great-grandson, James Wagner. He is also survived by his sister, as well as beloved brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews.
Larry retired after 35 years with the Ohio Bell Phone Company and proudly served in the United States Navy Reserves. Affectionately known as "LuLu" by his family, he was a spirited and devoted supporter at countless sporting events-always cheering on his daughter, granddaughters, nieces, and nephews, and never hesitant to offer a few enthusiastic words to the referees.
He found joy in working in the yard alongside Shirley and was a skilled handyman who never met a project he couldn't or wouldn't tackle. Larry will be remembered for his warmth, sense of humor, love of second helpings at family gatherings, and his unwavering support of those he loved.
A private celebration of Larry's life will be held by the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that friends honor Larry's memory by lending a hand, sharing a laugh, or showing up to cheer someone on-just as he always did.
Please leave condolences here on our tribute wall.
