I am so sorry to hear of my cousin Larry’s passing. I had just discovered it recently. Larry was a spit ball of energy and fun and I know his Aunt Marian and Uncle Jack got a real kick out of Larry. They had many great and entertaining stories about Larry as a kid. Larry, Bob, Kim and Joanne all used to come to Toronto for a few days stay with us during the 60s. I finally had the pleasure of spending the day and evening with Aunt Jean, Marian ( my mom) and Larry in the late 80s. We had a wonderful time together and we filled the evening with laughter and many great stories from our pasts. I am sure Larry will be deeply missed by many. My condolences to his family and my cousins.
Sincerely,
Lee Manning Beazley

My sincere sympathy to you Mary and your family.
My visit to Goderich last year with John McKessock was wonderful and a memory I will always cherish.
You and Larry were such a delight to visit and you home was filled with love and warmth and so inviting.
I hope we stay in touch and my heart sank when John passed on the news about Larry. I had just found my marble collection and was telling my daughter we have to go back so I could show Larry my childhood collection.
Take Care,
Thoughts and prayers to your family at this hard time.

Sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Larry, he always had a great outlook on life, from fishing and the old family gatherings at Uncle John and Aunt Gene’s house on the water. Sitting at the outdoor fireplace with Bob and Kim playing guitar , Larry singing and all of us enjoying every moment together. Larry will be greatly missed by many. Rest in peace.

Grandpa, you always had a joke and a smile to brighten up the mood in any room. You were always proud to show me your latest yard sale find, and I was happy to hear the history of it. You had endless stories to share, and you will be missed greatly. I hope the rivers are full of fish up there, rest easy.

My love to you all! I will never feel old because his laugh is with me. All these years he and I had so much fun imagining what we could do with second hand finds. It’s probably my fault if he bought more than I did 😊
