By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on February 08, 2023

Larry Eugene Huff, 71, of Catalpa Heights, Stonewood, passed away on Sunday, February 5, 2023, at his residence with family by his side. He was born December 5, 1951, in Clarksburg, son of the late James Enoch and Katheryn Belle Morrison Huff.

He was a member of the Oak Mound Evangelical Church, where he was an Elder and taught Sunday school. Larry was a huge car enthusiast and enjoyed attending car shows with his 1968 Silver Ford Mustang. He was a talented musician and could play anything with strings: guitar, violin and banjo and also the harmonica. Larry was a jack-of-all trades and could fix and build anything. He was also a board member of the Mountaineer Military Museum.

In addition to his parents, Larry was preceded in death by one brother, Jack Morrison, and sister-in-law, Pat Huff.
 
The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Amedisys Home Health Care and the Home Health Team at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center for all the care and compassion.
 
Family and friends will be received at the Davis Funeral Home, Tuesday, February 7, 2023, from 3-7 p.m. Funeral service will be held in the Funeral Home Chapel on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. with Pastor Steve DeLay officiating.
