Please accept our deepest condolences. We met Larry about 5 years ago when he did an addition to our home. He was always very professional and made sure that everything was done perfectly. We feel very honoured to have had the opportunity to meet him; he was a very kind and honourable man.

Larry was a sooke sports philanthropist . Many know his continued support of fastball in sooke since the 70's. He also was a strong supporter of the emcs sr boys basketball program. For years Larry paid me personally to coach the sr boys program. He had a heart of gold, and a Sence of humour that I understood. While hundreds of men learnt their trade from him, I will always be in debt to Larry on how he taught me to speak and treat people in a work environment. You sir , were a man of style and humour. I will share the stories you shared with me till the end lar! Thank you for everything .

Larry was an extraordinary man with a huge heart. His support of fastball and the JdF Builders Jr Club was instrumental in providing opportunities to a group of young men to enjoy the game and grow together. He was the Duke of Sooke to many of us and I will always have great memories of playing for his team. Thank you Larry.
My sympathies to your family. RIP
