Larry E. Sharp, 77, of East End, Arkansas stepped into heaven April 24, 2021. He was the best Dad, Brother, Papaw and friend anyone could ask for.

He was born in Poteau, OK in 1944 to the late Arthur and Willene Sharp. He served in the AR Air National Guard from 1965 to 1974. Larry was the farthest thing from lazy. He worked for the Fort Smith Police Dept. Rheem/Rudd, Sebastian County Sheriff Dept. and finally Trane Manufacturing.

His family was the light of his life and being an Army Dad and Papaw were two of his favorite things. He could always make you laugh, was a big Razorback fan, never got too far away from original Chapstick and always took care of everything for those he loved the most.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother, Ron Sharp.

He is survived by his son, Ted and his wife Joy, grandchildren Allie and Collin, his brother Dean and his wife Gilda: nephews Travis, Matt, Jake and nieces Rhonda and Jamie.

There will be a private family memorial service. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Larry's Church; Pleasant Hill Baptist, 24310 North Sardis Road, Bauxite, AR 72011.
