BETHLEHEM — Brian E. Larsen of Bethlehem “lost his courageous fight with cancer on Sunday, Sept. 23, 2018, passing peacefully at home with his family and friends,” his family wrote in a tribute.

He was born in 1954. He worked for Hannay Reels in Westerlo for 10 years before leaving due to his illness.

“Brian was an avid car enthusiast,” his family wrote. “His pride and joy was a ’65 Corvette Stingray.”

He had so much support from Pop’s Warriors, a charity for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society; Vettes in Perfection, of which he was a member; and Hannay Reels of Westerlo as well as his many friends and family.”

He is survived by his wife, Deborah; his children with his former wife, Geraldine: his daughter, Kate, and son, Eric (Jess) and grandson, Elliot, his brothers: Edward (Susan) and Bruce (Adelaide), and his sisters: Judith and Cheryl (Peter).

His father, Edward, died before him, as did his mother Maxine; his stepfather, Arthur; and his brother-in-law, John.

Calling hours will be Friday, Sept. 28, from 4 to 6 p.m., with a service immediately following, at Fredendall Funeral Home in Altamont.

Memorial contributions may be made to Pop’s Warriors (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society). https://pages.teamintraining.org/uny/wdw19/PopsWarriors.
