Laurence (Larry) J. Roe, age 70, of Frederica, Delaware, went home to be with the Lord on May 17, 2024.

Larry was born in Dover, Delaware, to the late John W. Roe, Sr. and Mary I. (Sapp) Roe.  He was a 1972 graduate of Caesar Rodney High School and earned his Associates degree at Delaware Technical & Community College. Larry retired from DelDot as a Civil Engineer Tech. in 2017 after 36 years of service.

Larry loved animals and nature.  His greatest joy was being with his two fur babies, Cooper and Rudy. He loved watching classic westerns, Clint Eastwood movies, and classic film NOIR movies.  He was also a history buff and was very knowledgeable about WWl WWll, classic baseball, football and basketball.  If you were ever part of a trivia game, you would have wanted him on your team.  Larry was a very kind and non-judgmental person.  You would have thought that he worked for AAA as he changed many a tire along the road for those in need.

In addition to his parents, he was also predeceased by his father-in-law, Robert (Bob) Tribbitt, a nephew, Harry Roe, a niece Emma Roe, several aunts, uncles and cousins.

He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Kim (Tribbitt) Roe; his loyal fur babies, Cooper & Rudy; and his brother, John W. Roe, Jr. (Elida) of Magnolia. Larry is also survived by his mother-in-law Joan Tribbitt and sister-in-law's and brother-in-law's Tracy Wharton (Brad) of Frankford; Timothy Tribbitt (Jane) of Ocean View; and Keith Tribbitt (Ronda Jane) of Dagsboro. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews: Jennifer Hitchens (Brian) of Dagsboro, Tiffany Tribbitt (JF) of Wall, NJ; Brittany Wharton of Frankford; Taylor Wharton of Selbyville; Kyle Tribbitt (Brooke) of Frankford; Tyler Tribbitt (Abbe) of Ocean View; Matthew Tribbitt (Becca) of Millville; and Ericka Roe of Baltimore.  He is further survived by his great nieces and nephews: Luke Hitchens; Rae Tribbitt; Levi Tribbitt; Colter Tribbitt; Arlen Tribbitt; Riley Zoller and Madelyn Zoller.  He is also survived by his aunt, Norma Roe and several cousins.
