    So sorry about your loss! Larry has been on my mind and I speak of him often. What a fantastic man.
    I now live at James Bay Agecare and I believe we may have just crossed paths?
    He was a great partner!
    All the best ,

  • Shawna & Erin

    So many fun memories of our childhood have been in my hearts the past couple of months. Uncle Larry was a hard worker and always kind and considerate to Erin and I. He had a great laugh and smile and always a good and generous friend to our parents. We only know the tip of the iceberg of the crazy things the 4 of them got up to! Our hearts and thoughts remain with you.

    Lots of love,
    Shawna and Erin

    Our hearts are with your family during this time. We love that Larry embraced his role as our honorary team Grandpa during hockey season. I loved the look of anticipation on his face when I would slip him the paper with all the kids’ jersey numbers so he knew by name who he was cheering for. The kids will always remember him up top in the stands. We will be with you to celebrate his life. XO
