Larry Kocher Obituary
Larry Grant Kocher
September 22, 1947 - October 21, 2025
Larry "Butch" Kocher, of Klecknersville, PA, passed away on October 21, 2025, having lived a life full of character, creativity, and love.
He worked for many years at PPL as an analytical engineer and draftsman. Outside of work, he was an artist, a music lover who could sing, whistle, and even yodel, and a devoted sports fan (especially to the Philadelphia Eagles). Family gatherings at his house were always lively, with Butch as the master of games, ensuring laughter, friendly competition, and memorable moments.
He loved nature, being outdoors, and puttering in the garage, always fixing, building, or creating something with his hands. Most of all, he loved his family and was grateful for each new day.
He is survived by his wife, Barb Haftl Kocher; children, Jeni Kocher Zerphy (husband - Matt Zerphy), and Jason T. Kocher (partner - Rachel Benjamin); Grandson, Alex Zerphy, and siblings, Donald Kocher (Sharon), Winifred Beil (Luther), Eugene F. Kocher, Jr. (Marge), and Tina Brezack (Colleen Gilbert). He was predeceased by his siblings, Robert Kocher (Shirley) and Sandra Tashner (David). Butch was the son of the late Marguerite J. Kocher and Eugene F. Kocher.
A celebration of Butch's life will be held on a date to be determined, where we'll honor him with the music, games, and activities he loved most.
Arrangements and cremation care are entrusted to the GEORGE G. BENSING FUNERAL HOME, INC., in the Village of Moorestown - Bath.
