Larry Wayne Kiser passed away on October 23, 2021, at the age of 81.
Born on April 12, 1940, to Francis and Rowena Kiser. He lived on his parent's small dairy and crop farm in rural Ithaca. Larry worked alongside his Father until retirement. He graduated from Ithaca High School in 1959. While in high school, he enjoyed and was very proud of his many arm wrestling victories. Larry was a lifelong member of the Ithaca Seventh-day Adventist church, with a love to daily read his Bible.
Some of his favorite times were family get-togethers at his Mom and Dad's home as well as brothers and sisters. In addition, he enjoyed taking drives around the countryside remembering younger days and having a strawberry shake.
A man of few words with a great sense of humor was adored by his brothers, sisters, and extended family. Our family will be forever grateful to Chantel for the understanding, compassion and care that she provided over the past few years. Joel became a dear friend during his time at McVeigh Assisted Living giving him the feeling of adventure with many rides in his Sport Utility Vehicle.
A private service and burial has taken place at Ithaca Cemetery. Larry is survived by Bill Kiser, Judy Walker, Linda Johnson, Annette Rayburn and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lynn Kiser (age 6) , Kay Wold and Garth MacLaren. We all miss his warm personality and are grateful for the many years that he blessed our lives with his humor.
The family is being served by the Barden Funeral Home in Ithaca. Condolences may be left for the family online at www.bardenfuneralhome.com.
