Robert Lawrence "Larry" Beatty passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 17, 2021. He was born July 11, 1947 in Columbus, OH to Robert and Marie Beatty. After graduation from Brookhaven High School, he joined the Ohio National Guard. He then became a Columbus Police Officer. After leaving the police force, he enjoyed a successful 40-year career in Residential Building Material Sales. His free time was spent with he ones he loved. He was always together with his wife of 53 years, Barbara, whether they were doing yardwork or traveling to Las Vegas or other favorite destinations. When Fall Saturdays rolled around, you could find Larry watching his Buckeyes and enjoying a cold one with his son, Bob, both yelling at the TV. There was so much to Larry, that it couldn't be written in a single paragraph. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by loving wife, Barbara; son Robert (Mary Ann) Beatty; grandsons Dylan and Carson Beatty; sister Carol (Donald) Bowers; sisters-in-law Carol Lyons and Linda Barkhurst; brothers-in-law Ron (Kim) Ives and Bill (Juanita) Ives; and many loved nieces and nephews.
