Lawrence William Samples Jr., VMD, 81, of Hummelstown, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, July 9, 2024, in the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

Larry was a 1961 graduate of Overbrook High School in Philadelphia. In 1966, he graduated from Penn State University, University Park, with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, and then went on to earn his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania in 1971. Larry spent the majority of his career as a large animal veterinarian helping animals from horses, cows, and others to exotics at Lake Tobias.

Larry was a board member of Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer, serving as District Commissioner from 1985 through 1989. Larry helped to develop the first professional indoor soccer team, the Hershey Impact as an owner and team President from 1988-1991.  He played rugby while he attended Penn State and remained an avid supporter. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Eastern PA Youth Soccer Association’s Grow the Game Fund, 4070 Butler Pike, Suite 100, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462, or to Doctors Without Borders, P.O. Box 5030, Hagerstown, Maryland 21741-5030.
