Larry Henry was one of the most courageous people we have ever met. He faced major physical challenges in his life, and he overcame them as much as possible with his indomitable spirit. Larry led a good full life and was an inspiration to many people. I saw this first hand when he was my student.
More than just an incredible student, Larry became a good friend, and we always enjoyed reconnecting no matter how long the time since we had last met. I enjoyed his playful sense of humor, and he could give the little jokes as well as take them. My wife Evelyn said it well, ” he was a beautiful soul.” Our sincere sympathies to Larry’s siblings and the entire Henry family. R.I.P. dear Larry.
Evelyn and Pat O’Brien, M.P., (Ret.)
Leo, Maureen and family. We are sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Larry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My condolences to the Henry family.
So sorry to hear about your loss.
So sorry for your loss
Dear Rick & Darryl and all the Henry family – wishing you all peace and healing through this time. I have many memories of Larry … most prominent was him playing cards with our parents and spending time at your cottage. RIP Larry.
It’s hard to believe this, as I just mentioned all the Henrys to my friends from St Anne’s church yesterday. Larry was such a kind happy person to be around. Do you guys remember he use to visit mom around his birthday & would say “Mrs Healey, my birthday’s tomorrow & you’re my God mother” and mom would say back, “I never forget, Larry”
All the Healeys send their love & prayers. RIP,Larry
Although, regrettably, I have not seen Larry in many years, I was saddened to hear of his passing.
When we were younger Larry and I connected and always enjoyed our bond. I am sending cousin love and sincere condolences at this time. Larry leaves a lasting impression of warm hearted joy.
Cousin Patti Ann and family
I had the privilege of working with Larry at Lambton College for many years. Larry took great pride in his work and was a stickler for details, wanting things to be right the first time.
Getting to know Larry too, you quickly understood that Larry had a great love and pride in his family always willing to tell you about his brothers and extended family.
Overall though, the thing that stood out to me about Larry was his faith and his strength. Nobody would have faulted Larry for wanting to ‘take it easy’, but that was not Larry’s character or style. Larry always gave 110% and persevered on when most would have quit.
Rest in Peace my friend.
I hope you’re enjoying a grape pop after running around in heaven for a while.
I got to know Larry at Lambton College. He was working in the IT department. Lynn worked with him for some time. Larry was hard to understand, but Lynn was always able to “translate”. As mobility became more of a challenge, Gord in security would ensure that Larry got to his office okay. The number of people helping grew, and Larry’s group, besides Gord and Lynn, came to include Bill, Laura, Kathi, and myself. We would go out for food regularly, gossip about the college, and talk about our personal lives. We even visited Larry’s house for his birthday once. Despite health issues that grew, Larry persevered. He was not a complainer. Rest in peace, Larry.
To the Henry Family. So sorry for your loss of Larry. When Bill told me of his passing all I could remember is saying his name Larry Michael Thomas Henry but thought for a moment and rememered it was Leo Michael Thomas Henry. Our families had lots of get togethers and great memories. May your memories help you through the days ahead. Sincerely Nancy (Haskett) Turnbull.
To the family, I’m sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. He loved his visits with his Aunt Marie and kept her up to date on his accomplishments. He always looked forward and his disability never stopped him. He is now in the arms of his Mom and Dad.
In our prayers.
To Larry’s Family,
Larry fought many difficulties in his life. I remember him as positive , happy and
strong in mind.He loved his family, especially his mother. Marcy , his cousin, said it best. “He is now back in the arms of his mother and father.”
One afternoon I was sitting with my mom, Blanche Henry, and we were talking school. Mom taught Larry at Holy Rosary in London. She told me she asked Larry who had the most influence on him growing up. His answer was “Rick. He let me play with his friends.”
Well done brother!
Rest in peace Larry
I knew Larry and he was such a great guy. He was caring, funny. condolences to your family Rick, Darryl.
