***Updated arrangements for Mr. Larry D. Herald***

Larry D. Herald, of Paintsville, KY died early on July 21, 2020 at home surrounded by his family. Larry was born in Prestonsburg, KY on January 20, 1948, the son of the late William and Josephine Scutchfield Herald. He is survived by his wife Karen Conley Herald, son Tim Herald, daughter Betsy Herald, daughter-in-law Alka Herald and grandchildren, Hunter and Hannah Varney and Will and Drew Herald. He was a dedicated and loving family man. He was very attentive to his parents when they were sick and in the nursing home, and he was a proud father and grandfather.

Larry was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved spending time in the outdoors with his family. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church for decades and served on the Board of Trustees for several years. Larry loved his church and was regularly in attendance until he became ill.

From 1982-1994 he was the successful business owner of Herald Oil and Equipment and a trucking company. From 1998-2012, Larry was the manager of Paintsville Utilities. In this capacity, he served on many state and national boards. He was on the KY Gas Assoc. Board of Directors from 1999-2012 and was president in 2003-2004. American Public Gas Assoc. Board of Directors 2001-2011, and their Insurance Group in 2009-2011. Kentucky Rural Water Assoc. Board of Directors 2005-2012, and served as Secretary 2006-2008, Vice-President 2008-2010, and President 2010-2012.

In his capacity at Paintsville Utilities, one of Larry’s biggest concerns was using the Big Sandy River as the community’s water source. After years of work, he was able to secure an agreement with the US Corps of Engineers to build a much-needed water plant utilizing Paintsville Lake as a new and much cleaner water source.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the Phelps and Son Funeral Home, 1701 Euclid Ave, Paintsville, Kentucky. All services will be held at a later date. Memorial Donations may be made to First United Methodist Church of Paintsville.
