Lawrence L. Yohe, 75, of Washington, formerly of Ginger Hill, died Friday, December 30, 2022 in the Washington Hospital. He was born February 26, 1947 in Washington, the son of Marcus G. and Martha "Mary Ann" Ruth Strosnider Yohe.

Larry graduated from Charleroi High School in 1965. He was a veteran, having served in the US Army for three years. During his time in the Army, he served two tours in Vietnam, earned the rank of SP5, and received the Bronze Star. After returning home, he attended Duquesne University, graduating with a Master of Science in Criminology. He then served with the Pennsylvania State Police for twelve years in the Ebensburg and Greensburg areas. After retiring from the Pennsylvania State Police, he continued with his expertise in law enforcement, working with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) as an On Highway Investigator. During his twenty-three years with the NTSB he worked in Seattle, Los Angeles and Denver. He later went on to work for Greyhound/ABC in Safety Consultant Expert Testimony for five years, retiring in 2015.

One of Larry's greatest pleasures in life was when he was behind the wheel of his "Silver Eagle" bus. He was happy with any opportunity he had to take family and friends on bus trips with him. It didn't matter whether the destination was far or near, with a large group of passengers for special events or just a few people for a joyride. Larry also had a love for trains. He traveled all across the country by train and bus for over fifty years, enjoying every minute of it! Larry acquired many lifelong friendships along the way.

Larry was a member of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church in Meadowlands. He became a Catholic convert because of his belief in the Eucharist. He found great joy in attending mass. He loved and served his Lord Jesus by living out his faith in his everyday life. Larry was a friend to anyone he met, always lending a helping hand to all. Larry had a very special friend, Elaine, who was devoted to him. Larry and Elaine shared their Catholic faith together, making it a focus in their friendship. They enjoyed ministering to residents in Senior Care facilities through their joy of singing together. They also enjoyed some train trips and, of course, riding on the Silver Eagle!

He is survived by three brothers and a sister, Mark Yohe and wife Sandy of Fredericktown, Tom Yohe and wife Donna of Jefferson Hills, Cindy Taylor and companion Arnie Brock of Sewickley, Dave Yohe and wife Jennifer of Ginger Hill; brother-in-law, Rev. William Lusk of Bentleyville; devoted friend, Elaine Passarello; nieces and nephews, Billy, Steve, Amy, Danny, Mark, Tanya, Christina, Mike, Nathan, and Brennan.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Karen Lusk; and nephew, Thomas M. Yohe.
