Community Ties & Personal Legacy  

Larry was born on September 2, 1945, in Manitoba. He married Lorraine on January 30, 1982. A self‑employed and community‑minded man, Larry was known throughout Gull Lake for lending a hand—shoveling snow, mowing grass, and tinkering on his old John Deere tractors. He was a friend to many, always ready to listen and always ready for coffee.

Larry kept a to‑do list in his pocket and a pen at the ready, jotting down thoughts and tasks throughout the day. He enjoyed collecting—everything from paper to tools—and took pride in helping others whenever he could.
