Larry was always living large and it was never a dull moment with him. Especially when it came to his cat Shannon whom he loved very much.
Lots of cuddles, heating up her food and even making sure she was squeaky clean with a bath! He always had a great sense of humour.
Cracking jokes with the family and adopting the name Big Lar. He loved old movies on the Turner Classic Movie channel and enjoyed watching certain sports as well. Not only did he watch but he was a well-rounded athlete himself.
He played hockey up until his 40’s then began playing tennis, golf, fishing and bowling. We also owe Larry a thank you for keeping his neighbourhood clean of the ads that would be left in the mailboxes.
Arrangements with McEachnie Funeral Home.
Larry was a charmer, very social and had such a unique soul which we wouldn’t have changed it for the world. We will miss and love you so much Larry!
