Larry Eltin Gillock, 75, Russell Springs, KY

Larry Eltin Gillock, 75, of Russell Springs, Kentucky, went home to be with the Lord on November 27,2024. On vacations he brought his family to Lake Cumberland where he fell in love with the lake and Striper fishing. He met Tim Tarter of Nancy's Guide Service, and the journey began.

Larry and his wife Brenda built Lake Pointe Motel and Cabins. Many charters were booked at Lake Pointe. Then, Larry and Brenda purchased Timber Pointe, M & M Lodge, and built beautiful Wolf Creek Resort Park by the old Alligator Marina. Larry was a visionary; he could look at a piece of land and envision what he could do.


Larry spent many years volunteering for the community of Russell County. He helped with the ABC Foundation, Catch A Rainbow Fishing Derby, and he was instrumental in the upgrades to Hatchery Creek at Wolf Creek Dam. Larry was on the Russell County Tourism Board for 5 years. He was proud of organizing the stay for the Professional Walleye Trail Pro Anglers tournament on Lake Cumberland. In addition, Larry was honored by the Russell County Chamber of Commerce for a great idea when they were going to build a factory in Mexico, and he recommended them to bring it to Russell County. They took his recommendation and brought GGF, an airplane parts factory, to Russell Springs, Ky. The Chamber of Commerce awarded Larry with a plaque for gratitude for his great idea.
