It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly loved Husband, Father, Papa, Brother, Uncle and Cousin.
Larry is survived by his loving wife Evelyn, daughter Patricia (Lou), son Ryan (Natasha) and his adored grandsons, William and Michael. Larry’s passing is also a huge loss to his sister Shauneen (Denis), and he will be missed by many family including his brothers in law Richard (Judy), Dan (Deb) , Aron (Jane) and Greg (Katrina). A special mention of Larry’s uncle Jack Boyce. Our family includes many more cousins, nieces and nephews, plus many old and new friends that were all important to him.
When Larry wasn’t working on a building project, he was enjoying his time with family and friends, and golfing as much as he could get away with. When we retired to Blind Bay, B.C. on Shuswap Lake, he spent a lot of time on his rigged-out pontoon, fishing for the big one.
His sense of humor kept us laughing, and he continued to make us laugh, right to the end. We kept him home, surrounded by his family right to the end, as he had wanted.
