Lawrence T. Barish

Lawrence T. Barish, 82, of Greensburg, died Tuesday, September 15, 2026, in the Hempfield Manor. He was born May 24, 1944, in Uniontown, a son of the late George L. and Mildred C. (Bukovac) Barish.

Larry was the owner and operator of Aamco Transmissions in Greensburg from 1977-2016. He was a member of the Blessed Sacrament Cathedral, a sponsor of Rolling Oldies Club, and was an avid golfer across the region, most recently playing in the Madison Club league. He was a lifelong lover of Pittsburgh sports, having held Steelers season tickets since 1979.

As a founding member of Hempfield Aqua Club (1985), he spent the next 15 years dedicated to supporting his daughters in their swimming careers through high school and college. He never missed a swim meet, proudly traveling across the country to root for St. Francis University and Indiana University women’s swimming.

Larry was always ready with a big smile. If you asked, he would tell you he’s “magnificently well!” with infectious optimism. Through his business ownership, volunteer work, and community involvement, Larry met so many people who loved and respected him for his genuine friendship and boundless generosity. Larry was a loving brother, husband, father, uncle, and Pap.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, George and Donald Barish; and a sister, Valerie Williams.
