Larry A. Huber, 85, of Ridgway, PA
Larry A. Huber, 85, of Ridgway, passed away on Friday, February 14, 2025, at his residence following a lengthy illness.
He was born on October 23, 1939, in Ridgway, the son of the late Alvin and Ruth Cousins Huber.
On February 20, 1965, he married Joyce Luchs, who survives.
Larry was a lifelong resident of Ridgway and a graduate of Ridgway High School. After graduation he joined the U.S Navy. After his military service, he made significant contributions to Ridgway through his work with the Ridgway Boro, Ridgway Township Water Authority. For over 35 years, Larry also owned and operated Huber Monuments, where he took great pride in creating lasting tributes for families within the community.
A devoted member of the Ridgway Moose, Ridgway Cemetery Association, and the Ridgway Fire Department, Larry was not just a professional; he was a friend and neighbor to many. Known for his joyful nature, his trips through the town were always filled with waves and smiles. Larry found immense joy and solace in the simple pleasures of life—mowing the grass and tinkering on tractors at his cherished farm. In the summer, he could often be found taking peaceful naps on the porch at the “farm”.
In addition to his loving wife of nearly 60 years, he is survived by 4 children: Brenda Cochran of Punxsutawney, Karen Herzing (Mike) of Ridgway, Larry Huber (Joan Santiso) of Ridgway, and Jennifer Huber (Jeff Schatz) of Ridgway, 10 grandchildren: Adam, Ryan, Morgan, Madison, Michaela, Allison, Bailey, Nathan, Casey, and Jonah, and 1 great granddaughter, Emma J. He is also survived by his faithful 4-legged companion, Nikki.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Lois Huber.
