Larry had a legendary sense of humour with a joke for every situation. He could fill a room with laughter and joy! Larry had a hug and kind word for all, both friends and strangers a like. He was a loving father, loyal friend and a genuine soul. The world is a much quieter place without him in it. He will be greatly missed by his family, and his many friends.
Our hearts go out to Diane, Mae, Chloé, Liam, Theresa and family in the loss of Larry. Jim and I loved Larry as a dear friend for over 20 years. Larry always supported us and greeted us with love and laughter when we were together. He was a sweet and gentle man. We will miss him dearly.

Didn’t know you long but I will miss you
See you on the other side bud.
Thanks for all the times you made me laugh. R.I.P.
So sorry for your loss. Larry will be missed by all. I have great memories of growing up with Larry through elementary and high school. He was always a good friend and we had lots of laughs together. Although I had not seen him in years memories of spending time at his place and with hos mom Mae will always make me smile. Gone far to soon.
ARRY (I called him)…You will always be loved, You will always be missed and you will always be remembered! You were my favorite regular ever! I’ll never forget the laughs and our talks when I got off work. The last time I seen you in buds, you left the bar to come sit at a table with me and some regulars you were unfamiliar with, it was such a great thing, you made everyone at the table feel comfortable. You had a way with people that I may never witness again. I’m going to miss you my friend . Honda
Deepest condolences to Larry’s family and friends. I went to school with Larry and he always made me laugh and could put a smile on my face. I thought of him often after graduation. And was so sad to hear of his passing. He will be missed
