Larry Liberman, 76, of Venice, FL, and formerly of Syracuse, NY, passed away on November 2nd at Tidewell House in Venice, FL. Father to Tom Liberman, Naples, FL and Melissa Liberman, Los Angeles, CA; cherished grandfather to Rachel Rotella of Syracuse, NY and great grandfather to Max Benjamin and Isla Marie. Step-father to Nate King (wife, Jeannie) of Rome, GA; Katrina King of Soddy Daisy, TN; beloved ‘Papa’ to Andrew, Emily, Camryn & Brady King of Rome, GA and Zephyr Boinich of Soddy Daisy, TN; loving brother to Sharon Rubin; nephew, David (wife, Amy); niece, Debbie Delvecchio (husband, Pat) several great nieces and nephews. He is pre-deceased by his wife, Brenda Liberman, mother and father, Mildred and Martin Liberman, and Brother-in-law, Stuart Rubin.

Larry had a strong passion for golf, enjoying the game itself, the camaraderie with friends, and the beauty of golf courses. He cherished the opportunity to play year-round in Florida. Later in life, even when he was unable to physically play the game, he enjoyed administrating the golf league for his church, First Baptist Venice. Larry was a Syracuse University graduate and a devoted fan of Syracuse Basketball and Football. He was part of the coaching staff for the 1985 Empire Football League Champion Syracuse Express, a minor league football team in Syracuse, NY. He was an entrepreneur of sorts, running his own business as a manufacturer’s sales representative, serving Dollar Stores in New York. Larry was known for his extreme loyalty, both as a friend, businessman, and neighbor. He loved chocolate, mostly dark chocolate and peanut M&Ms. Larry was baptized on May 29, 2016, identified as a messianic Jew, and was a beloved member of First Baptist Venice Church where he served as a Deacon. His faith was a significant part of his life in his later years, and he looked forward to being reunited with his wife, Brenda, and spending eternity with the Lord.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on November 21 at 2:00 pm at First Baptist Venice, 312 Miami Ave W, Venice, FL 34285.
