Lawrence Peter Wolfram Jr. “Larry” age 67 passed away unexpectedly on February 3, 2017 in Sebring, Florida while golfing, an activity he really enjoyed. He was born April 25, 1949 at Toledo Hospital on his mother’s 22nd birthday. She always said he was the best gift she ever received. Larry loved life and loved to laugh. More than that he loved his family and was a caring and supportive Husband, Dad and especially Pappy. Whether he was golfing or traveling, coaching his kids’ sports in their younger years or just spending time together watching sophomoric movies and laughing together or having a cold Miller Lite on the boat he enjoyed simple pleasures. He was so proud of his grandchildren and enjoyed watching their sports, teaching them to fish and have fun.

In 1969, he joined the United States Air Force where he worked as a computer programmer. After serving his country, he settled in Pennsylvania where he worked in IT and attended The Pennsylvania State University graduating with an Associate’s Degree in Labor Studies. In 1979, he returned to Toledo to raise his family where he continued his IT Career at Owens Corning. He was an active member of OLPH Catholic Church and took great pride in being a mentor and coach in various Catholic Youth Organization sports.
