Lawrence McLeod Obituary
He was preceded in death by his parents, Golden E. McLeod and Ruth L. McLeod of Hopewell, Va.
He is survived by his daughter, Stacey M. Joyner and husband, Michael of Henrico, Va.; a sister, Jane M. Horner and husband, Steve of Disputanta, Va.; a niece, Amy Horner of Disputanta, Va.; a nephew, Wyatt Horner and wife Amanda of Senoia, Ga.; a great-niece and two great-nephews, and countless devoted friends.
Larry retired from Philip Morris as a senior mechanical designer. He was also an accomplished musician. His love of music led to his participation in many local bands throughout his lifetime. Larry had a deep love of animals. He never met a stray cat he wasn't willing to take in. Larry's family would like to extend special thanks and gratitude to Kevin Doane, Cindy Gray, Allison Gray, and Donnie Hicks for their support, comfort, and assistance throughout Larry's illness.
A celebration of his life will be planned for a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the Hopewell Humane Society, 3412 Oaklawn Blvd. Hopewell, VA 23860. Condolences can be registered at www.jtmorriss.com.

Larry & I played music together in several bands. He was a gifted musician & a sensitive guy, and I learned a great deal from him. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family & friends. Many of us will celebrate his life every time we play music.

I worked with Larry at Philip Morris for many years and benefited from his detailed designs. He was a gifted designer; his board drawings were “works of art” that truly helped projects go in smoothly, especially on foreign jobs. When language barriers created communication problems, Larry’s designs could be understood by all. He will be greatly missed.

I remember meeting Larry years ago at PM. He came in our group and prompty attemped to give me the nickname Gerzy! I flipped it back at him and called him Gernzy all the time. It stuck! We were close. I will miss him, but I envy him because I know he has got to look into the eyes of God now. A loving friend, Mark
