Lawrence L. Buescher

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we share the loss of Lawrence Lee

Buescher of Blue Ash, Ohio on Saturday, April 18, 2026, after 83 wonderful years.

He was an adored son, brother, husband, father, grandpa, great grandpa (by the

lake), and great-great grandpa who passed away peacefully at home with his wife by

his side.

He was born May 31, 1942, in Detroit, Michigan, and resided in Blue Ash, Ohio for

most of his adult life. He went to St. Saviour grade school and graduated from Purcell

High School in 1960. He retired from Ford Motor Company after 42 years of

dedicated service.

Larry, a devout Catholic, faithfully attended the 4 p.m. Saturday Mass at Good

Shepherd Church. He was a doting husband who always put his wife first and was

often comforted just by holding her hand. He had a deep affection for his enormous

family, enjoyed spending time with them, and loved nothing more than cheering on

his grandchildren at their numerous sporting and school events. This was also a man

who treasured his lawn and delighted in mowing and taking care of his property even

during the winter months with his much-beloved snow blower. A man of both integrity

and stubbornness, once when he made up his mind to do something, there was

nothing he couldn’t accomplish.

Larry found joy in watching sappy romance movies, Broadway musicals (especially

Les Misérables), Anne of Green Gables, and old movies from ‘back in the day.’ He

enjoyed music and loved our long-standing family tradition of singing Christmas

carols off key every year. He cherished having monthly lunches with his brothers and

sisters where they caught up on each other’s lives. He was a family man through and

through and was happiest when surrounded by his loved ones. His kindness toward

others and his big-hearted nature were a true testament to his amazing character.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 36 years, Linda Buescher; his children:

James (Irene) Jemison, Michael (Sue) Jemison, Daniel (Andrea) Jemison, Thomas

(Jill Norris) Jemison, Donald (Sue) Buescher, Rodney Buescher, Susan (Chris) Robb,

Christina (Craig) Coffman, Sheri (Tony) Mackzum; his grandchildren: Mary, Katie,

Robby, Tracy, Kim, Mikey, Daniel, Becky, Laura, Tom, Michael, Patrick, Paul, C.J.,

Jayne, Marley, Griffin, Connor, Noah, Nathan, Jack, and Henry; his 30 great

grandchildren; his 2 1⁄2 great-great grandchildren; his siblings: Betty Hendricks,

Robert Buescher, Terry Bragg, and Anthony Buescher; his numerous nieces and

nephews; and his dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Virgina Buescher, his wife,

Kathleen Buescher; and his siblings: Joseph Jr. Buescher, Thomas Buescher, Ronald

Buescher, Nancy Mattes, Daniel Buescher, Shirley Buescher, and Wayne Hendricks.

Larry’s presence will be sorely missed, especially his snarky comebacks, joyous

laugh, his humorous and caring phone calls, his cheers from the sideline, and his

wisdom especially when it came to fixing or building things. We let go of a remarkable

husband, a loving father, a doting grandfather, and a kind soul. As we mourn his loss,

we also celebrate the love, joy, and kindness that were the absolute essence of

Larry’s being.

A visitation will be held from 8:45 – 9:45 a.m. at Good Shepherd Church, 8815 E.

Kemper Road, Cincinnati, OH, 45249 on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. A funeral Mass will

follow the visitation at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow Mass. 

The family will receive friends at Schuler Community Room at 11532 Deerfield Road from 12:00 – 3:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in Larry’s name to Breakthrough T1D to support

finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes or to a charity of your choice.
