Larry G. Harmon, age 77, of Warsaw, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2024. He was born on March 14, 1946 to Leonard & Birdie (Dotson) Harmon.
Larry graduated from Mentone High School in 1964. After high school he enlisted in the Army and served stateside for two years. He married Barbara Crisp on January 27, 1968, and together they raised two daughters. Larry was a machinist at Zimmer and retired in 2001.
Back in the day, Larry could be found Friday and Saturday nights at the Warsaw or Eldora Speedway: from owning late model #35 to backing sprint drivers and pushing sprint cars - he loved car racing. He was a fan of the World of Outlaws and made annual trips to Knoxville for years. Larry also enjoyed watching Indiana Basketball and NASCAR, with a particular admiration for Dale Earnhardt Sr.
Larry appreciated classic cars and could name the make, model, and year in just a glance - a skill that delighted his grandkids. He also enjoyed shooting hoops and playing catch with them, as well as playing card games.
He is survived by his wife Barb Harmon; children, Melissa (Daniel) Hatch of Warsaw and Jennifer (Christopher) Roberts of Eloy, Arizona; grandchildren Nicholas Shepherd, Jamison (Jessica) Shepherd, Kathryn Blue, and Jordan Roberts; and great-grandchildren Logan, Jaxton, Monty and Kacie. Also surviving is a sister Karen (Mike) Kirby of Lawrenceville, GA. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother Gary Harmon.
