Born in Reading, he was the son of the late Eugene and June (Hodgkins) Powers. He graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1962, and attended McCann's School of Business. Larry also proudly served in the United States Air Force.
Larry was a member of Advent Lutheran Church in West Lawn, and enjoyed attending Sunday Worship. He was also an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan, and never missed a game. In his younger years, he enjoyed golfing, and traveling with Kathy and their friends. He loved seeing his children and grandchildren, and making special memories.
In addition to Katherine, Larry's memory will be cherished by his children: Sean Powers (Tracy), Bradley Klick (Jennifer), Erin Farrar (Arron), and Heather Snyder; his 10 grandchildren; and 5 great grandchildren; as well as his brothers: Robert Powers and Michael Powers.

I worked with Larry on Conrail's Harrisburg Division. Ran into him at a few local high school football games. He was a pleasure to work with.
