Lawrence F. Roehm, 75 years old, of Gibraltar, PA passed away on Wednesday, August 8, 2018. He was predeceased by his wife of 47 years Suzann (Freese) Roehm in 2015 and his sister Susan L. Roehm.

Born in Lancaster, PA on October 21, 1942, he was the son of the late Frank F. Roehm and Helen (Hoffecker) Roehm.

Larry was a graduate of John Piersol McCaskey High School in Lancaster, class of 1960.  He entered into the Navy after graduating high school. While in the Navy, he served as a Communication Tech CT 2 ^nd Class Petty Officer, M-Branch Maintenance. Through this experience, he gained confidence to fix almost anything presented to him.  He was in the service from 1960 to 1964, with tours of duty in Okinawa and the Philippines.

After the Navy, Larry returned to Pennsylvania and worked for Monroe Systems for Business, which was eventually bought by Ricoh-USA.  Larry never left his job, and essentially worked for the same company for the past 53 years.  He was still working fulltime and also on-call for the company at the time of his death.

He had a zeal for unconventional problem solving.  For instance, if a part did not arrive in time, he was known to go home and try to fabricate one that would fit. Larry is also known for his incredible quick wit, sense of humor, telling funny stories, and for his clever puns! Because of these characteristics, he was known by co-workers and customers as the "MacGyver" of the company.

Larry is survived by his daughter, Karen L. (Roehm) Abraham, wife of Russell E. Abraham of Shillington; his son, Steven L. Roehm, husband of Kelly L. (Demko) Roehm of Mohnton; and four grandchildren Trinity Abraham and Noah, Aniya, and Grayson Roehm.  He also is survived by cousin Christopher Conybeare and wife Kathryn Braun of Honolulu and cousin Lynne Conybeare and husband Jim Benson of New York City.
