Larry was born on August 14, 1949 in Lowville, NY, a son of the late Maturon L. and Evelyn M. Bradish Bacon.  He attended Beaver River Central School and worked as a farm hand for many years.  Benny and Mary Jane Beyer gave Larry a home at a young age, where he stayed for his lifetime.  He was like a son to Benny and Mary Jane, and like a brother to their children.  

Larry was also known as the “Mayor of Montague”.  He loved the Tug Hill and was well known for traveling on the Rector Road, Gardner Road, Sears Pond Road, and Liberty Road where he would pop-in to his many friend’s homes along the way.  

Larry loved everybody, and everybody loved him, especially all his “girlfriends”.  Anyone who met Larry, young or old, had a friend for life.  He especially enjoyed the holidays, with all his family and all the kids, who were very special to him.   Larry’s favorite passion was being outdoors and stalking the almighty big buck.  He loved his dogs, Ranger, Max, and many others, and his grouse Petie who he had for six years.

Larry’s family would like to extend many thanks to Montague Inn and the Hook and Ladder for looking out for him.  If you are ever up to Montague Inn, ask for the Larry Bacon Burger and a little suds from a Genny.

Larry may be gone but will never be forgotten.   His spirit will forever be on Tug Hill.
