July 6, 1977-October 1, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Larry Bath who left us way too early at the age of 38 from sudden heart complications. A loving father and husband Larry dedicated his life to family and work. He could not abide idleness and when he wasn’t turning a wrench on a Helicopter at work he was swinging a hammer at home. Larry was born in Brampton, Ontario moving to Victoria at the age of 2 years. He attended Lake Hill, Royal Oak and graduated from Claremont Secondary School in 1995. He then pursued a career in aviation mechanical engineering, graduating from BCIT and spent the majority of his working life with Vancouver Island Helicopter (VIH). He leaves to mourn his wife Niurka, daughter Anaya and step-son Alberto, parents Nelson and Jean Bath, brother Nelson (Sandra, Deidre, Bruce) brother Gregory (Teresa, Nathan, Emily, Michael), aunts, uncles, god parents and many friends. In his youth Larry was an avid Lacrosse, Hockey and Basketball player. Thanks to the paramedics for their efforts. Larry will be in our hearts forever.
A Visitation will be held from 6:30 – 8:30 pm Thursday, October 8, 2015 at McCall Bros. Memorial service will be held at 3:00 pm Friday, October 9, 2015 at MCCALL’S FLORAL CHAPEL AND RECEPTION CENTRE, Johnson & Vancouver Street, Victoria, BC with a reception to celebrate Larry’s life to follow.

Like so many others who have commented, I was shocked to hear of Larry’s passing. We met briefly many years ago when he was at VIH and I recall him to be friendly and upbeat. He was also known by a number of our technicians here at Rotor Maxx Support, all of whom hold Larry in the same high regard.
On behalf of us all. I offer sincere condolences and sympathy to Niurka, Anaya and Alberto and wishes of comfort for the other members of his family.
