Laurence S. "Marv" Little, 89, of Lewiston NY, passed away on March 15, 2021 at Niagara Hospice House, Lockport, NY after a long illness.

Born on July 22, 1931 in Indiana, Pennsylvania he was the son of the late Joseph Walter and Thelma (Motter) Little.  He resided there until 1951 when he and his new bride, the former Evelyn S. Skapura moved to Niagara Falls. They were happily married for 53 years until Evelyn's passing in 2004.

Marv was employed by Hooker Chemical Co. from 1951 until his retirement from Occidental Petroleum Co. in 1990.  During this time, he and Evelyn continued their education together at the SUNY at Buffalo, where he pursued his undergraduate and graduate studies.  Once retired they wintered in Mesa, AZ where they enjoyed the company of their family and his hobbies of golfing, oil painting and sketching.  Upon the death of his second wife of 9 years, Wanda Wagner, in 2015 Larry made his home with his daughter Ann Marie (William) Correa.

In addition to his daughter Ann, he is survived by his three other daughters, Sue Ann (Louis) LaBarber, Catherine L Bonneville, and Patricia K. Evans.  He was blessed with eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Larry was predeceased by his sisters Helen (late Carl) Mauk, Fay (late Harry) Shoop and one brother, Fred (late Dorothy) Little.
