Was shocked to hear of Larry’s passing. One of the first guys I went out with after arriving in Goderich. He was such a friendly, happy, teddybear guy. Enjoyed the times of going mini golfing and sitting at the beach just chatting. May God be with you, Larry, as you leave here and are reunited with your mom and dad. Sympathies to your family.

sorry to hear of Larrys passing at way too young of an age.
He was always a nice man to talk to but so were his parents whom I knew quite well.
