Lawrence Lochotzki Obituary
May 7, 1945 - Apr 1, 2025
Huron
Lawrence J. "Larry" Lochotzki, 79, of Huron, passed away peacefully Monday, April 1, 2025, at Stein Hospice Care Center, Sandusky, surrounded by the love of those he held dear to his heart.
He was born May 7, 1945, in Port Clinton, Ohio and was a 1964 graduate of Sandusky High School. Following graduation, Larry enlisted in the United States Navy and proudly served his country from 1964-1970.
Larry retired from General Motors/New Departure-Hyatt after 38 years, and from Erie County Sheriff's Department after 22 years of service. Larry had strong faith and spent his life in the service of others. His service was evident in his kindness toward anyone he met, and he shared that trait as a funeral director's assistant. He enjoyed fishing, socializing with friends, and spending time with his family, especially the many breakfasts they shared together.
He is survived by his son, John R. Lochotzki of Huron; daughter, Juliane M. (Gregory) Finton of Huron; one grandson, Brandon J. Lochotzki of Huron; siblings, Sister Mary Lochotzki of Toledo; Thomas Lochotzki, Edwin (Mary Ann) Lochotzki, all of Sandusky, Anne Daughterty of Norwalk; and James Lochotzki of Bay View; nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Darlene K. Lochotzki, in 2022; daughter, Lori A. Lochotzki, in 1972; parents, Jerome and Rita (McCarty) Lochotzki; one brother, Kenneth Lochotzki; one sister in infancy, Janet Lochotzki.
