David Lawrence "Larry" Robertson, 74, of Mahoning Township, passed away Wednesday, March 30, 2022, at his home in Danville, surrounded by his family, following a long battle with colon cancer.

He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on Jan. 21, 1948, a son of the late Verril "Bob" and Rita "Ellen" (Bertwell) Robertson.

After retirement, Larry served on the Mahoning Township Planning Commission before being elected as a township supervisor in 2017. He also served on the board of the Montour Area Recreation Commission. Larry called himself a "news junkie," as his day was never complete until he read the Washington Post and local papers from comics to the front page. He loved to travel with his family internationally as well as stateside, always taking the scenic route.
