Larry J. Watson

Larry J. Watson, 70, of Blanchester, passed away March 12, 2025.

Larry was born Sept. 4, 1954 in Georgetown, the son of Floyd and Anna Watson.

Larry's dedication and work ethic were evident in his 42 years at Huhtamaki, where he earned the affectionate nickname "Cowboy." He approached every challenge with a spirit of camaraderie and resilience. Larry was known for his love of cornhole and tractor pulls. A proud member of the Hillsboro Eagles, he enjoyed the fellowship and fun that came with being part of this community organization. Larry also had a deep appreciation for Chevy trucks, which he often showcased proudly.

Larry is survived by his brother, Anthony Watson; sisters, Helen Bohl and Brina Dunsieth; and several nieces and nephews who will carry forward his legacy of kindness, laughter and passion for life.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Bill Watson; and sisters, Patricia Manning, Carol Dunsieth and Delores Beatty.

Services will be 1 p.m. Thursday, March 20 at the Thompson Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Harwood Cemetery. Friends may call from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home.
