(Sue) Rohrbaugh and Donna (Richard) Lauby; six grandchildren, Joseph Butko, Holly Thibodeau, Michael Rohrbaugh, Sharon Robinson, Linda Rohrbaugh and Larry Rohrbaugh Jr.; and eight great-grandchildren, Joshua, Katelyn, Madison, Elizabeth, Arianna, Isabel, Noah and Kassie.

Rohrbaugh Jr., who died in 2011; sisters, Ann Chuey, Stella Wargacki and Mary Geric; and brother, John Terlecky.
