Larry Barmore, 74, of Gerry, NY passed away on January 3 rd peacefully at his home with

his wife Carol (Hitchcock) Barmore of 31 years by his side and surrounded by

immediate family as per his wishes. Larry was born on August 27, 1951, in Jamestown,

NY to Janice Swanson Barmore of Florida and the late Verland Barmore.

Larry graduated from Cassadaga Valley Central School in 1969. After school, he went

on to manage the former Big N in Jamestown and then in Allegany, NY. He then joined

the family business Gay Mark Tire & Wheel in Cassadaga, NY with his father and

eventually purchased the business from him. From 2008 to 2013, Larry selflessly served

the people of Chautauqua County as a County Legislator. In 2014, Larry sold the Gay

Mark business to expand his public service to be Chautauqua County Clerk, a position

he held with honor until his death. Larry and his son, Keith, owned and managed

Barmore Resale and Barmore Real Estate, both located in Jamestown since 2016.

Larry proudly held various offices with the Valley Historical Society and was a staunch

member and supporter for 43 years, 26 of which he was the head of the Sinclairville

History Fair. Larry authored two books on the history of Sinclairville, NY and was

drafting a third on the history of Kimble Stand, NY prior to his passing. In recognition of

Larry’s dedication to and long-standing support of the history of Sinclairville and

surrounding communities, the Mayor of Sinclairville declared September 14, 2024 “Larry

Barmore Day”.

Larry cared deeply for his family and looked for many ways to make a difference and

improve the community in which he lived. Larry was not only instrumental in obtaining

grants for the historical society but he successfully secured grant funding for the

Sinclairville Library as well. He was an active member of the Conduit Church of

Jamestown, NY where he loved his church family and was involved in various church

projects. Larry pridefully bragged about the number of hot meals the Church distributed

to our local poor and hungry.

Larry was a founding member of “The Good Time Band” through the late 70s to early

90s and was also an avid pilot, enjoying many years flying with his brother Doug. Larry

was also an avid Buffalo sports fan but loved the Atlanta Braves. Larry really enjoyed

travelling with his wife Carol to Colorado and Florida to see family, especially his

grandchildren.

Larry married Carol Hitchcock Barmore on October 14, 1994, where they spent 31

wonderful years together. Father of Keith Barmore of Jamestown, NY, Jessica (Brian)

and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and great grandchildren (with one on the way).
