The family will receive friends following the service.

A native of Franklin County, Larry was born August 13, 1931, the son of the late Lawrence Lionel Wilder and Lucille Goswick Wilder.

Since Daddy was a career farmer and hoped farming would continue in Franklin County, donations can be made to: FFA, Franklinton High School, 910 Cedar Creek Road, Franklinton, NC 27525, Attn: David Averette, in memory of Larry Wilder.

Arrangements are by Montlawn Funeral Home, 2911 S. Wilmington St., Raleigh, N.C. Condolences may be made at www.montlawn.com.
