Larry Haile Obituary
Larry R. Haile, 61, a longtime Poughquag resident, passed away on September 18, 2012 at his home after a courageous 8 month battle with ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Born in Menomonie, Wisconsin on December 28, 1950, he was the son of Robert Haile of Grand Rapids, Michigan and the late Marcheta Haile. Larry spent his childhood in Michigan and summers on his grandparent's dairy farm in Wisconsin. After college, Larry moved around the country and settled in Poughquag, NY in 1982. He worked as the construction foreman at JP Cunningham and Sons and Cunningham Carpentry for 30 years.
Larry was a devoted husband to his wife Selene M. Haile who survives at home. He was a loving father and grandfather to his daughters, Kate Del Vecchio and Dana Haile, his son-in-law, Michael Del Vecchio and his beautiful granddaughter, Giada Del Vecchio. He is also survived by two brothers, Roderick Haile (Kathy Haile) and Jay Haile; a sister, Bonnie Haile; and four nieces, one nephew, and a great nephew, all whom reside in Michigan.
Larry was a gentle, kind and loyal friend to all and his amazing smile will be missed by everyone who knew him.
The Haile family would like to thank all those who helped us through our journey with ALS whether with a donation, a kind act, a prayer or a loving thought. They would also like to extend a special thank you to Hospice, Inc., specifically Nurse Julie Eads, Social Worker Hannah Byrnes and Chaplain Christopher Boyd for the loving care during the last 6 weeks of Larry's life.
Calling hours will be held on Thursday, September 20th from 4pm to 8pm at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction. There will be a service by Hospice Chaplain Reverend Christopher Boyd on Friday, September 21st at 10am in the Chapel located on the grounds of the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery, 342 South Avenue, Poughkeepsie.
Memorial donations may be made to Hospice Foundation, Inc., 374 Violet Avenue, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601or the ALS - Greater New York Chapter, 42 Broadway, Suite 1724, New York, NY 10004.

Selene, I am so sorry. Although our paths may have crossed across a conference table, you probably don't know me. I understand what it's like. Nothing ever prepares us for this. If you ever need to talk please know that I would love to talk to you too.
