Lawrence Stanton Obituary
GROTON - Lawrence Frank Stanton, age 81, of Groton and formerly of Dryden and Newfield, passed away Saturday, September 22, 2007, at the home of his great-niece and nephew, Holly and Craig. His children wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to Holly and Craig and family for fulfilling Poppy's last wishes. Born July 13, 1926 in Ithaca, NY to Minnie Hollenbeck and Calvin Stanton, he was predeceased by his wife and greatest joy, Gloria Howe Stanton; sisters, Doris Whitting and Eva Burdick; a brother, Raymond Stanton; as well as sons-in-law, Patrick Emms and Frank Hayes.
His favorite pastime included spending as many summer nights as possible as a faithful fan of BOYNTON RACING. His other interests were fishing, camping and playing card games. The family would like to express their gratitude and appreciation to Lakeside Nursing Home for providing the loving care he received while in their facility.
Larry is survived by his daughters, Valorie (Herbie Delmage) of Candor, Susan (Benny) Benjamin of Willseyville, Carole (Donny Zimmer) of Trumansburg; sons, Larry (Shannon) Stanton Sr. of Dryden, and Lawrence Hamilton of Dryden; sister, Betty Vann of Dryden; and a brother, Charlie Stanton of Lansing; sisters-in-law, Marjorie Stanton and Dot Shevalier; grand and great-grandchildren, Jackie and Brian (Riley and Kaitlyn); Lee and Sandy (Taryn and Kaden); Amy Jo; Heather Leanne (Kevin); Connie (Alicia); Nicole and Jim (Alexis and James), Mindy and Lynn (Kobe); Gloria Mae, Amanda, Lil Larry .
Regardless of whether he was "Unc", Jakey, Poppy, PopPop or Dad, to know him was to love him. He will be sorely missed by his children, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends and extended "family" of honorary children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 26, 2007, at the Perkins Funeral Home with Rev. Phil Jordan officiating. Burial will follow in Willow Glen Cemetery, Dryden.

Uncle Junior, you were without doubt my favorite person to visit - what fun you were when I was a boy. The laughs we shared when I was younger will always be with me. I can see your face and Aunt Gloria's so clearly talking with you over coffee and those durn smokes. It has been too many years, but even so, we had a lot of history. Thanks Uncle Junior, I will truely miss you. Richard
