Born on November 26, 1938, in Floydada, Texas, Larry was a self-made businessman whose life was marked by determination, integrity, and a deep commitment to others. A true pillar of his community, Larry’s greatest joy came from helping those in need. He lived with a generous heart, always ready with a kind word, a helping hand, or a warm smile.

Larry’s love for fishing and the mountains reflected his appreciation for nature and the simple pleasures of life. A man of unwavering faith, he was a devoted member and strong supporter of Calvary Baptist Church, where he served as a Deacon and Sunday School teacher. He was actively involved in the Eagles Community Group. His spirit of service, kindness, and encouragement will leave a lasting legacy.

Larry is survived by his loving wife, Peggy Hay and cherished dog Bullet; sisters Peggy Blake and husband John and Millie Smith and husband Jim; daughter Suzanne Lockart and husband Bob; and step sons Trent Gentry and Cory Gentry; grandsons Brandon Hay and wife Cassie, Michael Hay and wife Sarah; step grandsons Tyler Gentry and wife Cami, Bryce Gentry, and Sam Gentry; step granddaughter Molly Gentry; great-granddaughters Kaylyn Hay, Mayah Hay, Tori Hay, and Kami Bell; step great grandchildren Trevor and Jacobi Janz, Koby Gentry, Madi Gentry, and Walker Gentry; as well as many more beloved family members, who will carry forward his legacy of love, generosity, and strength.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Rufus Crafton and Ona Hay; sister Patsy; first wife, Imogene Hay; son Alan Hay; stepson Rodney Gentry; and grandson John Thomas Bell.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Larry’s honor at Calvary Baptist Church in Lubbock on Monday, July 7, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Family and friends are invited to gather and share memories in a spirit of joy and gratitude for a life well-lived.

A visitation will take place at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers on Sunday, July 6, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

It was a wonderful service. Larry was an uncle that was thoughtful and caring and whose smile and hugs were just wonderful. Peggy, you have our love and thanks for such good care of him. Thoughts and prayers for all of the family - -

Great service!

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My memories of Uncle Larry are of his youthfulness. I visited every couple of years in the 1960's, and since my mom was 21 when I was born, that made him only 17 when I was born in 1955, so... you can do the math. I wish I had met him as an adult, too. It's always a joy to learn more about one's elders from people who know them. I've heard stories.

Enjoyed our visit a few years back and will remember that time. Praying for Peggy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

So sorry for Peggy and Suzanne and all those who are grieving. God bless and keep you. Meredith Morrow and family (Peggy Blake's second daughter)

So blessed to have so many wonderful memories of Larry. You are going to be missed. Our hearts are breaking for you Peggy. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Offering love and prayers from afar. Burt and Carolyn Kallander
