Larry was proud of his athletic accomplishments as a young man in particular his time spent playing with the London Majors. He grew up on Wilson Ave where “Dixon’s Grocery” was just down the road from Labatt Park. He shared many fond memories of the players and fans who were lucky enough to enjoy the Majors games. His retirement years were spent splitting time between Florida and Ipperwash Beach where he and his wife Jackie loved hosting family and friends.

We are grateful for the care and love he received at Henley Place where he was a resident for many years. We are also thankful for the care he received at LHSC for the many challenges he faced over the recent years.
