Englewood, FL – George Larry Mosher, 82, of Englewood, Florida, formerly of Scarborough, Maine, went to be with the Lord on July 8, 2023, after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. He was born on August 9, 1940, in Wilton, Maine, the son of Raymond and Birdena (Palmer) Mosher. Larry graduated from Wilton Academy and later went on to earn his Mortuary Science Degree from the New England Institute in Boston MA. He married Mary Kilponen on October 14, 1961, and they shared sixty-one wonderful years together. On March 21, 1963, they became the proud parents of their son, Larry. Larry and Mary resided in the greater Portland area from 1965 until 2002, when Larry and Mary decided to make Florida their permanent home. While living in Maine, Larry was employed as a licensed funeral director at several funeral homes, the most recent of which was Hobbs Funeral Home, where he worked until 2002.
