Lawrence "Larry" Milliken

Lawrence “Larry” Milliken of Cherry Valley passed away Saturday, April, 1, 2023 in his childhood home.

Born June 13, 1954, in Steubenville, he was the son of the late Eugene and Velma (Lenko) Milliken and beloved brother of Salli (Michael) Barach.

   Larry attended Hopedale High School and graduated from Cadiz High School in 1972, the first year of consolidation.

   He was a truck driver, retiring from Chrome Deposit in Weirton, West Virginia when it ceased operation. Larry was a hard worker always willing to help anyone and he never knew a stranger.

   Larry always had a passion for cars –mostly Fords- from a young age, owning his first car at age 13. If you had a question about Fords, he was the guy to see!

Reading, coins, marbles, history and antiques were also his interests. He attended many auctions looking for “treasures” which filled his home.

   Family and friends were extremely important to Larry. He valued his life-long friendships with Tom Oiler and Brian McDevitt. His cousin Wally Grabits was dear to him, as were his caring neighbors Julie, Chuck and Justin. Their calls and visits were much appreciated.

Larry was a dear brother and will be deeply missed.

   A special thank you goes to Valley Hospice and their caring nurses.

   Honoring his wishes there will be no services. Koch Funeral Home, Scio has been entrusted with his arrangements.
