Larry R Foote, Jr

Ware-Larry R Foote, Jr, 64, born on June 24, 1961, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at home on June 16, 2026. He was an iron worker for many years for several local construction companies that specialized in steel construction. Larry was known for his love of family, his enjoyment in telling jokes—especially the classic "Dad" jokes—and sharing stories that brought laughter and warmth to those around him. Those who knew him will remember a man who appreciated lively conversations, often sharing, back-and-forth banter with his former wife, Bonnie Robert.

He is survived by his son, Larry R. Foote III, and his partner, Shelby Smith, of Ware; his daughters, Amanda M. Gonzalez and her partner Luke Biggs, also of Ware, and Kelly Wezniak along with her husband Jeff of Chicopee. His siblings, Bruce A. Foote of Belchertown and Cindy L. Foote of West Springfield, cherish his memory as do his grandchildren, Rhaelyn Foote and Ashtyn J. Santor. Nieces, nephews, and many extended family members also remember Larry. Larry’s parents, Eleanor Y. (Rimbold) Foote and Larry R. Foote, Sr, as well as his brother Richard J. Foote, preceded him in death.

Larry R Foote, Jr’s legacy lives on through the stories he told, the laughter he inspired, and the family he loved.
