Larry P. "Chub" Weyandt Jr., 69, of Claysburg, passed away Saturday at home. He was born in Roaring Spring, son of the late Larry P. "Sonny" Sr. and Eleanor Weyandt.
On May 10, 1974, he married L. Holly Ritchey at Emmanuel Baptist Church, Claysburg.
Surviving are his wife; a daughter, Angie Long and husband, Roger; granddaughter, Maddie Long; brothers: Ronnie and wife, Karen; Scotty and wife, Melanie; Dennis "Whitey"; and Kae; nieces and nephews: Tyler, Lauren, Ronnie Jr., Eleanor and Rebecca; and his good friends: Bryan, Roy and Dennis "String" Ritchey, Harry Black, Johnny Meade and Dave Tinley.
He was preceded in death by a brother, Terry "Jake" Weyandt.
Chub was a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church and was a self-employed truck driver, hauling livestock for the family business.
Larry was not only a loving husband, but a wonderful father and grandfather. He always made sure his family was taken care of.
Larry's greatest passions were turkey hunting and truck driving, having driven truck for more than
50 years. He called in many a turkey, for many people, and looked forward to hunting turkey in Tennessee every spring. Larry also enjoyed taking many trips to Potter County, his last trip being this spring, where he met his goal of making it to the top of the mountain, twice.
His strength and love for the Lord was, and still is, an inspiration. The way Larry lived his life was the definition of an unbreakable faith in God and His promises.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Friends will be received from 2 until the 6 p.m. funeral service Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025, at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 480 Emmanuel Drive, Claysburg, with Pastor Erik Lingenfelter officiating. Interment at Upper Claar Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to the cancer research charity of your choice. Arrangements are by Leslie-Miller Funeral Home, Claysburg.
