Mann-Hare-Hoenig Funeral Home, Fostoria, is honored to care for Larry and his famly. Larry was born in Newark, Ohio, on December 12, 1941 to the late Raymond Clyde and Mary Virginia (Howard) Mercer. Survivors include his wife Jill Stevenson, sisters Grace Fetter and Lorna Mae Johnson; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. He will also be missed by their sweet Shih Tzu dog Molly, who is a “Daddy's girl”. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Roy Mercer and his favorite brother-in-law Dave Fetter. He was also preceded in death by special pet companions: cats White Mug and Pooh Bear, and Shih Tzu dogs Blossom and Wendy. Larry graduated from Eastmoor High School in Bexley, Ohio in 1960. He attended Dennison College where he met his first wife, Judy Upjohn from Kalamazoo, Michigan. He served in the U.S. Air Force and worked at Rockwell from 1960 to 1969, was a school bus driver for many years, and was self employed. Self employment made it possible for him to care for his brother Roy, his Aunt Marjorie and his Mom for many years. He loved a bargain (yard sales, auctions, and flea markets) and loved going to antique car shows and car swap meets as well as working on cars. He prize restoration was a 1932 Chevy. He was a very accomplished pilot (owned and operated everything from jets to jennys). He flew his second wife Jill in his “Breezy” experimental airplane in 1973 over the city of Newark and God's Acres Church of God campground, where he and Jill met and later fell in love. He loved traveling, especially South Dakota, Florida, and California. He liked to keep up to date on politics and current events as well as watching documentaries and car shows on cable TV. He also loved visiting friends and reminiscing about the old days. He enjoyed listening to music from the 1950's and 1960's. Throughout his life he was “Car Crazy”. In his early adult years he owned many Corvettes. In recent years, he was in the process of restoring a 1949 Buick Roadmaster (a car he fondly remembers from his childhood). As someone wrote in the class yearbook, “There are many Larry's but there is only one Larry Mercer.” In his personal life, he loved God and his church family at Church of God of Licking County, Newark, Ohio. Due to the distance and recent medical issues, he had become a faithful live-stream church member. He loved to read the Bible and listen to sermons to learn more about God's Word. He and his wife both rededicated their lives to God after his cancer diagnosis in 2014. While we will miss him here on earth, we who remain faithful to God will see him again on the streets of gold in Heaven. Larry never complained about his medical problems, even though he certainly had reason. Two years ago he experienced issues that would cause anyone to question why, but he was content that God had this in his plan for him. Honoring Larry's wishes, there will be no visitation or services. He will be laid to rest privately in Wilson Cemetery, Newark, Ohio. Contributions can be made to the Patient Access Network Foundation, one of several excellent organizations which offered assistance to Larry as he dealt with the diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer that develops in the bone marrow. Your donation may be made as a gift in his memory and allocated to funding for his specific disease.
