Larry Dean Ruth, 68, entered into rest on April 30, 2015 in Manteca, Ca. The youngest of five children Larry was born on June 5, 1946 in Oklahoma.  He is preceded in death by his loving wife Doreen Ruth and his beloved granddaughter Rebecca.

He has one surviving brother Frank Ruth. In addition, Larry is survived by many nieces, nephews, and extended family members who loved him like a father.

A resident of Manteca / Lathrop for over 40 years Larry was a 28 year employee of Sharps Army Depot; retiring after 28 years of service. Before employment at Sharps, Larry proudly served his country through the United States Army.  Larry was always a giver of himself and his time. He was a proud 15 gallon blood donor to the Delta Blood Bank. He enjoyed camping, traveling, dancing and playing hand held electronic games. Larry was the true definition of a 49er faithful as he was always decked out in his lucky 49er attire during every football game.  Larry will be remembered as a loving father, a wonderful grandfather and a devoted friend to many. He will be missed.
