      Larry Steven Robey

      Greenville - Larry Steven Robey, 59, of 32 Frontus St., passed away Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2003, at Greenville Memorial Hospital.

      Born in Evans, W.Va., he was the son of Regena Stewart Robey Hardman and the late William Howard Robey.

      Mr. Robey worked for Ballenger Paving Division of APAC Southeast Inc. for 30 years, beginning as an engineer and advancing to chief estimator within a short time. Mr. Robey was instrumental in the success of securing many major heavy highway and airport construction projects throughout the southeast which include: I-675 Atlanta, Ga. Clayton CO., Ga. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport "9R-27L" reconstruction, Atlanta, Ga. County Road 40 - Lamar, Johnson CO., Ariz. Highway 64 West - Co. Rd. 40, Johnson CO., Ariz. I-540 Northern Wade Expressway, Wake Co., N.C. Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport Runway 14-32 rehabilitation and reconstruction, Biloxi, Miss. and I-40 Western Loop, Guilford CO., N.C. He was also a veteran of the US Air Force.

      Preceding Mr. Robey in death was his stepfather, Cliff Hardman.

      He is survived by his loving wife, Susannah Wilson Robey, of the home daughters, Stephenie Phillips, and husband, Danny, of Greer, Tami Preston, and husband, Evan, of Easley, Robbin Slock, and husband, Curtis, of Taylors, and Jennifer Nelson, and husband, Travis, of Travelers Rest grandchildren, Rachel, Rebekah, Matt and Alex Preston, Hannah and Heather Phillips, Taylor and Trevor Neslon and Anne and Lee Slock. Also surviving is his mother, Regena Hardman, of Charleston, W.Va. and a brother, Jerry Robey, of Taylors.

      Steve was smart and charismatic, yet quiet with a dry wit. He touched many along life's highway throughout his many travels associated with his work. He was loved by all and will be sorely missed by his family, friends and associates in the construction industry.

      Funeral services will be held Friday at 10 a.m. at the Mackey Mortuary, with the Rev. Daryle P. Bush officiating. Interment will follow at Graceland East Memorial Park.

      The family will receive friends tonight from 6 to 8 at the mortuary.

      Memorials may be made to American Heart Association, 310-B Bennett Center Drive, Greer, SC 29650.
