• The Smith family; So sorry to hear of Larrys passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have so many fond memories of Larry and his Mom and Dad and brothers growing up spending the summers at our cottages on Mckenzie Lake (Ontario). - Posted by: Nils & Marie Toset & Family ((Friend)) on: Mar 01, 2016

• I had the pleasure of working with Larry and can call him a true friend. He had a very contagious smile and a fantastic sense of humor. He always made sure to stop by my desk to have a quick chat and to ask how I was feeling. No matter how bad your day was going he made sure to change your mood. Lynn my condolences go out to you and your family. Rest in Peace Larry. - Posted by: Denise Clarke (Friend/Co worker) on: Feb 29, 2016

• I had the pleasure of working with Larry at Bristol Aerospace for many years. Larry was a special person - kind, caring, with a great sense of humour. When times were challenging, Larry always made you feel better. I will always remember the good times and good laughs we had. My sincerest sympathies to Lynn (who I also worked with for a brief period at Manitoba Hydro procurement) and her family, as well as Larry's daughters. - Posted by: Scott Souka (Friend/Co-worker) on: Feb 27, 2016

• "The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one." -- Seneca Only the good I guess is what they say..... Larry was a very rare type of person, reflected in so many of the comments herein. Even at some of his most challenging setbacks, he still managed to find the time and strength to help make others feel better of their situations. He was always someone whom could truly be relied upon, and conversely was also so appreciative of almost any type of small gesture directed his way. We're all going to miss Larry immensely. My condolences to all of Larry’s family, and a special admiration for and heartfelt thank you to Lynn, whom had provided Larry with so many good times and memories over the last many years, and for having been a tower of strength, so loving and so dedicated to Larry during some very difficult and challenging times. - Posted by: Jeff Stanton (friend) on: Feb 26, 2016

• Larry will definitely be missed around the neighbourhood! Such a positive person, always nice to chat with. Our sympathies go out to Lynn and his daughters/family. - Posted by: Chantal &Darryl Lancaster (Neighbours) on: Feb 25, 2016

• There is no doubt about the comment "smile that lit up the room". When I heard of Larry's passing, that was my first visual memory. Larry began working at Bristol Aerospace shortly after me and we loved sharing comical stories about our bosses (not bad, just comical, in case any of them are reading this)! There is nothing more to say but what a great guy Larry was and how you don't know what a person meant to you until you sit and think about it then it is too late. I miss you Larry and it is too bad we lose touch with each other as we move on in our careers. - Posted by: Rob Walker (Colleague) on: Feb 25, 2016

• Larry was the best!! Always smiling, always jovial, always with the "How ya doin' Peg??" I don't ever remember seeing him mad. We had a great common interest and bond in pets - in particular cats. He always inquired about mine and he loved to share stories about his "Sugar". I was able to visit with him one day after he had already retired from work, with one of my rescue kitties. He was so excited - his face completely lit up when he realized I had brought my kitten Zoey for a quick visit. He was so excited to cuddle and visit with her, I hated to leave. He had a such a kind heart. He will be dearly missed. - Posted by: Peggy Wasylishen (Friend/Co-Worker - Manitoba Hydro) on: Feb 25, 2016

• Larry was as nice a person as anyone could ever want to meet. His glass was always half full, never half empty. His positive attitude was a trait that I truly admired and envied because he endured some difficult circumstances in his life, even before the onset of his tragic illness. I called him a saint, only half jokingly. He was a great friend to me and many others and, most importantly, a wonderful partner for Lynn. My sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to Lynn, Eric, Marc and all of Larry's family members. He will be missed. RIP, my friend. - Posted by: John Horn (Friend) on: Feb 24, 2016

• I had the pleasure of meeting Larry a few years ago, through Lynn. We often rode the bus to work together and would often joke that we were BBF's - Bus Buddies Forever, the three of us. I loved Larry's smile, sense of humour and we would often bug Lynn together. Great memories! He was an awesome person! I will miss you immensely, Larry! Hugs forever. xoxo - Posted by: Dominique Esteves (Friend and Bus Buddy) on: Feb 23, 2016
