Larry Deitrick Obituary

Larry E. Deitrick

Larry E. Deitrick, 82, of Maumee and formerly of Tiffin, passed away Friday morning, Sept. 30, 2022, at St. Luke's Hospital.

He was born Nov. 29, 1939, in Findlay, to Wilfred and Oletha (Semler) Deitrick. He married Phyllis Swope on Aug. 13, 1977, and she survives in Maumee.

Other survivors include their children, Jim Swope of Toledo and Shelly (Augie) Stacklin of Fremont; sister, Marty Challen of Arizona; grandchildren, Rachel, Kelly, Amber, and Bryan; great-grandchildren, Raelyn, Landon, Serenity, Dannielle, Christopher, Allison, Angela, Ivan, and Ellie; sister-in-law, Sister Rozanne Swope, OSF; and many stepsiblings.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Shirley Sleek and Rosemary Smith; and stepsiblings.

Larry attended Hopewell-Loudon High School and worked as a machinist for AFC-Holcroft in Wixom, Michigan, for over 30 years, retiring in 2020. He enjoyed boating, fishing, playing cards, trips to the casinos, and having coffee with his friends. Larry didn't own a Harley, but he dressed the part, riding his scooter everywhere with the music turned up.

Larry's memorial service will be 12 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, 2022, at Hoffmann-Gottfried-Mack Funeral Home & Crematory. Burial will follow at Seneca Memory Gardens.

Friends may visit with the family 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. Friday at the funeral home.
