Lawrence “Larry” J. Hess, 77, of Lancaster, passed away on Sunday, January 12, 2020, at Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Binghamton, NY. He was the son of the late Perl and Agnes (Kirk) Hess.
Larry was a man of faith and a very active member of St. Edward’s Episcopal Church in Lancaster. He was a long-time employee of WGAL, where he met his wife, and Aflac, where he worked as an insurance agent. He loved to spend his free time golfing. When he wasn’t on the green, Larry could be found in front of television, beer in hand, rooting for his favorite team, the Washington Redskins. Honoring his generous wish, the gift of life was shared with many people in need through tissue donation.
Lawrence is survived by his loving wife of 28 years; Beverly Hess, of Lancaster, his children; Kenneth Hess, husband of Tina, of Binghamton, NY, Sherry Rossman, wife of David , of Binghamton, NY, Deborah Myers, wife of Duane, of York, and Lauren Hess, partner of Gerald, of Parrish, FL, stepchildren; Christina Eichelberger, wife of Paul, of Landisville, Gregory Oleksa, husband of Pam, of Lancaster, his grandchildren; Sarah, Jillian, Kasey, Daniel, Patrick, Alex, Ashley, Nicholas, Kristen, Cory, and Robert, as well as numerous great-grandchildren.

My name is Nelson Buchanan of Binghamton N.Y. I first met Larry when he was 9 yrs old. We played on the same little league team together.What a little lefty he was. You see he was nine and i was 12 and Iuse to catch his fast balls and little curves. I think brother jack started him at birth, he was so talented. We only lived about ablock apart on the pore side of town. Jack and I were in the same grade together. We both graduated in jan. 1958 FROM NORTH HIGH. the last time I saw Larry I believe it was at our 40th grad. get together. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy. Nels B.
