Heller

Larry William Heller, 69, of Elliott Road, Butler, died at 2:35 p.m. Wednesday in Butler Memorial Hospital.

Born Dec. 9, 1941, in Homestead, he was the son of the late Hillard Heller and Gladys Heller Molanaro.

Mr. Heller served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.

He retired from Glenshaw Glass in April 1998, and he was the owner and operator of the Lube 4 You Oil Change.

He was a member of the First United Methodist Church, where he participated in serving community meals and bereavement dinners. He also was involved in Meals on Wheels.

Larry and his wife enjoyed traveling. He loved being with his family and got great pleasure in just staying at home and working on his property. He loved being outdoors, and his oil changing business was a labor of love. One of his favorite pastimes was playing poker with friends and family.

Baldacci of Charlotte, N.C., and Christopher M. and his wife, Jennifer, Baldacci of Butler; two daughters, Lisa M. Heller and her companion, D.J. Simmons, of Butler and Lynette R.
