Not sure what to say?

When Larry was selling tractors out of the backside of the spotted pig, I used to see him on a daily basis and sometimes we would cook together with Bill and Eva. Larry was so much fun and kind and when he died it was devastating. We still love you, Larry, and hopefully Marshall is up in heaven with you telling jokes.

We miss Larry so much, his vibrant personality, his good heart, his willingness to help anyone who needed it, his sense of humor.... our hearts go out to the Handy family right now. You are in our thoughts and so is Larry.

Larry and his gifted voice will long be remembered in our hearts.
May he rest in peace.

So many memories, so many stories and laughs. The RMQHA shows will not be the same without you, Larry. RIP, my friend.

Handy family, our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I so enjoyed working with Larry as the announcer for the Simmental Show on the Hill at NWSS. Every year I looked forward to telling some jokes, swaping some stories and keeping the show moving along with Larry. He will be truly missed by all of us involved with the Simmental show. Rest in peace my friend.

To Larry's family. May your memories give you strength I am still having a hard time believing that he is gone. I had a great visit with him at the Denver Stock Show. He was excited about his move and the announcing jobs that he had lined up for the spring. We had some good laughs about his visits to Alberta in the past and the industry at that time. I remember the first year that he announced at the Stock Show, I walked into the stadium and heard that voice and new instantly who was on...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Please accept our deepest condolences Handy family, may you find strength at this time of sorrow. We just found out about Larry's passing earlier this evening and has made us so sad. We have been remembering some really good times with Larry in the Maine-Anjou business. He worked really hard for us and always come through when we needed him....but above all he was good kind friend. Thanks for being part of our lives Larry. The Wise Family , Irricana, Alberta Canada

To all of Larry's Family and Closest Friends we would like to give you our thoughts and prayers at this time. Larry was a dear friend for many years dating back to the late 70's early 80's when he started coming to Canada with the Maines. I always looked forward to seeing him at Stock Show and the great job he did in making the show so much more thru his voice. I'm glad that we had a chance to tell some stories and have some laughs just 2 months ago. He talked of his move back home...
