Larry Friis

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Larry Friis on November 2, 2024, in Calgary, Alberta. Larry was born on April 12, 1932, in Bedsted, Denmark.

Larry was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be deeply missed by his wife of 66 years, Aase, his son David (Shirley), his daughter Kathy (Grant), his son-in-law, Jeff, and his grandchildren Leah (Ross), Sydney (Elliott), Hilary, and Ryan.  Larry was predeceased by his son, Dennis, and daughter, Marian.   He was a devoted family man who cherished spending time with his loved ones, whether it be at home, at their cabin on Columbia Lake, or engaging in his favorite hobbies of reading and solving sudoku puzzles.

A private Celebration of Life will be held to honor Larry's memory.

Larry will be remembered for his kind heart, his love for his family, and his gentle spirit. He leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. Rest in peace, Dad. You will be forever loved and missed.

The family would very much like to thank the staff at Prince of Peace Manor for the love and care he received there and also for the nursing staff at Southwood Hospice where Larry spent his last week.

If friends so wish, a donation can be made in Larry's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society at cancer.ca
