(Sept. 17, 1937 - Mar. 21: 2024)

Larry died at his home in Pickering after a long battle with cancer.

He is survived by his wife Lila Hughey (Willumeit), his son Patrick Hughey and wife Linda Hughey (Philip), daughter Lynn Hughey and her husband James Engelbert, and his grand-daughter Jessica Adam.

Larry was born in Crowland to Robert Hughey and Mary Hughey (Alekna) and had his one brother Bob Hughey and sister-in-law Luella Hughey (Holland) who are deceased. He has three nephews: Sean, Dennis and Brian Hughey.

Larry enlisted in the RCMP when he was 19 and trained in Prince Rupert, B.C. And this was his childhood dream. While attending Maple Leaf School he drew numerous pictures of Mounties rescuing people.

While stationed at Smithers B.C. he met and married Lila.

They moved back to Ontario and Larry joined the Crowland Police Force which became the Niagara Regional Police Force. He was a Mason and Grand Master at the Masonic Lodge in Welland.

He worked as the Court Defender in Welland and was promoted from the ranks of Constable to Sergeant and was stationed in Fort Erie before his retirement.

A strong individualist, Larry made many friends and was respected in his community for being an honest, trustworthy, loyal and fair person.

He was a dutiful and loving husband and father and grandfather to Jessica.

He had such a big heart and quiet strength. He is very greatly missed every day and we can only suffer the loss of his wonderful presence.

We know he is relieved of his suffering. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society are welcome.
