Larry E Bennett

Larry E Bennett, age 77, of Sylvania, Ohio passed away on June 7, 2026 at Hospice of NWO Ebeid. He was born in Glouster, Ohio to Homer Bennett and Betty (Shaner) McCall on August 26, 1948.

Larry owned LEBCAB Trucking, Inc. and was in the trucking business for 48 years.  He served in the Navy in Virgina City, NV. Larry was an avid fisherman, especially fishing for Walleye on Lake Erie.  He was a woodworker, could fix anything and would often reach out to others to help them in any way he could.

Larry had a twinkle in his eye and was full of shenanigans.  He loved his family, especially being a “grampy”.  He was beloved by many and will truly be missed.

Larry is survived by his adoring wife, Catherine “Katie”; children, Walica (Henry) Jensen, Larry Bennett II, Lisa (Joe) Blum, Boomer (Katie) Rizzo, Mary Rizzo, Nicole (Luke) O’Connell and Amanda (Shawn) Nelson; grandchildren, Tessa (Cole), Rachel (Scottie), Sabrina, Michelle, Emily, Jorden, Caleb, Benji, Teddy, Luke, Ben, Natalie, Mia and Claire; great-grandchildren, Lila and Asher; siblings, Betty (Larry) Mitchell, Howard Bennett, Doris Bolmgren; beloved nephews, William and Ryan Emery; brothers and sisters-in-law, Maria McGraff, Erin (Mary Flavin), Martin Emery, Sheila Emery, Noreen (John) Cheyne, Terry Emery, Earl Emery and Mary (Scott) Peacock; special cousin, Terry Bennett, many cousins, nieces and nephews; and his dog, Dolly.  He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Charles Bennett, brothers-in-law, Kevin (Laura) Emery and Donald McGraff.

Visitation will be held at Reeb Funeral Home on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 from 11 am until the funeral service begins at 1 pm. Entombment will follow at Ottawa Hills Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggest donations in Larry’s name be made to Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinsons research. The family would like to thank Heartland Hospice, especially Stephanie his aide and Kyndra his nurse, along with Hospice of Northwest Ohio for their end-of-life care.
