Larry Peltz Obituary

Larry C. Peltz, 65, of Thompson, died Wednesday at home after an illness. He is survived by his loving wife of 39 years, Judy Ann Stone Peltz.

Born in Susquehanna, the son of the late Robert and Elsie Cobb Peltz, Larry was a graduate of Susquehanna Community High School. He was an Army veteran, serving in Germany during the Vietnam War.

A skilled carpenter, he practiced his trade locally and then, most notably, for 20 years in the woodcraft business he created with his wife and children, Woodcraft by Judy.

Larry was a kind and friendly, fun-loving man who truly will be missed by all who knew him.

Also surviving are a son, Jason Peltz, Thompson; a daughter and son-in-law, Pamela and David Jones, Thompson; two grandsons, Jack and Rusty Jones; four brothers, Robert Peltz, Arvada, Colo.; Donald Peltz, Vestal, N.Y.; Richard Peltz, Susquehanna; and Ronald Peltz, Thompson; two sisters, Virginia Kleinbauer, Archbald; and Vivian Pickering, Susquehanna; many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He also was preceded in death by two brothers, George and Russell Peltz.

A memorial service will be Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Hennessey's Funeral Home, 747 Jackson Ave., Susquehanna. Burial will be in East Ararat Cemetery. The family will receive friends Sunday from 1 to 2 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or Veterans Administration Hospital.
