Larry Halbauer Obituary

Halbauer, Larry Darrel B.A., LL.B: It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness, that we announce the passing of Larry Darrel Halbauer, after a brief and unexpected illness. Larry left us too soon, surrounded by love and with his wife Rose close beside him, on Thursday, November 21st at Moog and Friends Hospice in Penticton. Larry is survived by his wife Rose, daughter Tina Solary (Jasen) and granddaughter Kayla Marie, sister Lovanne (Mike), sisters-in-law Liz and Shirley (Jeff), brother-in-law Martin and cousins Michael (Therese), Linda (Bob), Cathy (Daryl) and parents in law, Sean and Betty McNally. He will be greatly missed by nieces, Kimberly and Jillian, great-nephew and niece Avery and Mikaela, and many more members of his extended family. Larry was predeceased by his parents Lillian and Clarence Halbauer and nephew Ian. Larry was a kind and very generous man. He enjoyed an active life style, he was an avid skier and snow mobile rider, who loved all things winter. He also loved to golf with his many close buddies and was passionate about travelling the world. Larry's love for dogs was lifelong and he will be especially missed by his two canine companions, Rory and Maggie. Larry lived almost his entire life in Penticton and after completing his education, and being called to the bar in 1975, he returned here to practice law until his recent retirement. He will be greatly missed by his many colleagues and clients. In respecting Larry's wishes there will be no formal service. Larry's legacy and the impact he made on so many lives is considerable. To honour that legacy, a celebration of Larry's life will be held in May 2020, when all members of his extended family and dear friends can gather to toast his memory. Rose would like to thank the nurses and staff of Moog and Friends Hospice and Penticton Regional Hospital, the Kelowna Cancer Clinic and Dr. Jamie Johnstone for their unstinting care, compassion and support. One of Larry's core beliefs was to support the community and give back. In lieu of flowers or to honour Larry, we encourage you to donate to the BC Cancer Agency, the BCSPCA or a charity of your choice. Messages of condolence can be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com

Larry and I became friends while I was an RCMP constable in Penticton in the 1970's. At that time he did some prosecution work. I appreciated his easy going way and we would get together socially and share our thoughts and dreams. Larry and I drifted apart after I was transferred, but I always remember his kind way and sense of humour. I am sad for his passing, as an "old man" I had hoped we would meet again. RIP my old friend.

I was saddened to hear of Larry's passing. We first met in 1975 in Penticton , BC. Halbauer, Albas and Keene served as our company lawyers for many years even after we left Penticton. Larry was a good friend and a person who could always be counted on when the need arose, legal or otherwise. Please accept our deepest condolences to Rose and family.

I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I worked in the law industry for 40 years (now retired). Larry was the first lawyer I worked for - right out of high school in 1976. He was a good boss, kind and compassionate. Condolences to Rose and all Larry's family and friends.

I was floored to read about Larry's sudden passing. It was just a few weeks ago we ran into each other as he was walking one of his dogs.

I have known Larry since I was called to the bar in 1982 and from time to time relied on his sage counsel. Penticton has lost a favourite son.
