So sorry to hear of Larry’s passing. Although I had very little contact with him in our later years I have many wonderful memories of many hours spent during our childhood and young adulthood years.

I'm so glad I got to know my dad better the last two years . We were not close growing up due to unforeseen circumstances. So we made up for lost time when I would go visit him at the Red Deer hospice. What a wonderful charity. We can't thank the staff at the hospice as well as the wonderful staff at the Mitchener extended care center for the care they had given to my dad. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable in his last days. Thank you
