Larry D. Newvine

LAKE GEORGE – Larry D. Newvine, 77, of Lake George passed away after a long illness, on December 29, 2020, at Glens Falls Hospital, with his daughter by his side.

Born July 17, 1943 in Massena, he was the son of the late Francis and Jessie (Arguitt) Newvine.

In his younger years, Larry enjoyed roller skating.  He passed on his knowledge at a local roller rink in Long Island, where he lived for many years.  Larry held a few jobs throughout the course of his life from security guard, to factory manager, to owning his own small painting company.

Religion was a very important part of Larry’s life.  He was a devoted and active member of the Mount Zion Church in Gansevoort, forming many friendships throughout the church community. 

Larry could be best described as a socialite, frequenting diners in the area to meet up with his friends for a cup of coffee and conversation.  He was always there to offer a good joke and ready to entertain with his great sense of humor.  Most importantly, Larry loved his family.  He enjoyed spending time with them, especially playing card games.  Although he was good at the game of solitaire, he played many rounds of 500 rummy with his daughter and grandkids.  

Besides his parents, Larry was predeceased in death by his older brother, Dean Newvine and older sister, Jean Kelllison.

Survivors include his daughter, Diane Sarrazin of Feeding Hills, MA; his grandchildren, Sage and Zachary Sarrazin, as well as several nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be conducted, 6 p.m., Saturday, January 9, 2021, at the Mount Zion Church, 207 Redmond Rd, in Gansevoort.

Memorial donations in memory of Larry may be made to Mount Zion Church, 207 Redmond Rd., Gansevoort, NY 12831.
