Larry “Joe” Reynolds, age 83, of McDonough, passed away May 9, 2023.

 

Joe was born on September 21, 1939, to the late Clarence and Audrey Reynolds. He grew up in Lindale, Georgia alongside his brother Charlie. Joe was a graduate of Pepperell High School where he played football. He went on to work as a mechanic and truck driver. He was employed by Bowman Transportation for many years. 

 

Joe was a family man who had a love for fast cars and a good time. He was a jokester with a great laugh and mischievous smile. Joe enjoyed playing cards and video games. He also liked to visit the dog tracks. When he was wearing his signature straw hat, Joe was in for a good time whether he was relaxing on the beach or watching Spanish soap operas. His favorite pastimes, however, were cutting the grass and cheering on his grandsons in their sporting events. Joe was known for his flirtatious nature and striking blue eyes. He was a loving father and Paw Paw who cherished his family and enjoyed his life to the fullest. 

 

Along with his parents, Joe was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Lajoyce Evelyn Reynolds.
