Larry Roger Appleton

Larry Appleton, beloved father, has passed from this world to the next. He was preceded in death by his father Larry, his mother Sue, and two sisters Brenda and Karen. He is survived by his wife Katie and 5 children, Roger Appleton, Valerie Forsyth (Jason), Angela Wilson (Joshua), Robert Appleton, and Rebekah Appleton, as well as a brother John and sister Bridget, and 6 grandchildren. He was born in Georgia, raised in Apopka, Florida, and lived his adult life in Durham, North Carolina. He was a hard working man, devoted to his children and grandchildren.

Larry was an fisherman, with a deep love for deep sea fishing. He loved camping, gardening, cooking and was a writer. He loved his handbar mustache and his animals. He was a peaceful man with a quick wit and a no nonsense attitude. He liked being the dark horse. He wasn't afriad of being underestimated; he challenged the norm.

His life was short but he left his mark. His one of a kind laugh and mischievous smile burned into our memories. His devotion to those he loved will be evident for generations to come.
