Larry J. (Garuccio) Garuch, age 80 of Clairton, passed away on Wednesday, April 15, 2020. Born August 24, 1939 in Carolina, WV, he was the son of the late Joseph (Garuccio) Garuch and Catherine (Lari) Garuch. A member of St. Clare of Assisi Church, Larry was a graduate of McKeesport High School and retired after thirty years of service at US Steel Clairton Coke Works. At home, he always made everyone feel welcome and loved to sit on his patio and spend time with his family: the pride and joy of his life. He also took pride in his beautiful yard and spotless cars and loved to go to the casino and horse races. Larry will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife of fifty-three years, Karen (Sammartin) Garuch; his daughters Annette (Charles) Greer of Jefferson Hills and Catherine Dever of Brigantine, NJ; his grandchildren Nicholas (Amanda) Greer of North Huntingdon and Gina Marie Greer of Jefferson Hills; his sister Norma Arabia of Shelby Twp., MI; and also nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, Larry was preceded in death by his sister Theresa Scappetura.
