A proud 1971 graduate of Pickett County High School, Larry dedicated many years of service to Berkline Manufacturing and worked tirelessly on his beloved farm in Alpine. A committed Freemason, he was a 50-year member of the West Fork Lodge, a past member of Livingston Lodge #259, member of the Livingston Order of the Eastern Star, and held membership in both the York and Scottish Rite bodies. He was also a proud Shriner, known for his commitment to fellowship and service.

Larry found his greatest joy in the simple pleasures of life — especially sitting on his front porch, watching friends and neighbors pass by. Above all, he cherished time spent with his grandson, James Price York, his closest companion and pride.

He is survived by:

His loving wife of 50 years, Doris Eldridge Cooper, of Alpine, TN

His daughter, Amy York and husband Johnny, of Alpine, TN

His cherished grandson, James Price York, of Alpine, TN

A special family friend, Kim Smith, of Alpine, TN

Larry was preceded in death by his beloved parents.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the community he loved and served so faithfully.

Honorary pallbearers are: John Mark Windle, John Garrett, and David Parsons
