Lawrence Bibby

To Larry's family and friends,
My condolences to you. I knew Larry as a bright fellow volunteer on the Coquitlam 'Disability Issues Committee', where he contributed on accessibility in particular. He put up a fierce fight over the termination of Chimo. He was also helpful in finding personal assistance for me once when I was "stuck".
He was considerate, caring and compassionate, and loved life, especially being with family members.
He had a keen sense of style.
I did not know he was sick, and will miss him.

Lawrence was a great man with a quick wit and easy smile. I first met Lawrence at UBC hospital in 1991 when we were both there for a treatment for our MS we have been friends all these years at Chimo and on the phone playing Jepardy and he always won!
Will remember and miss him
Mom will miss his chats too.
Our thoughts & prayers are with the family.

Dear Family,

I rember seeing Larry when he was a wee lad but too many years went by till I saw him again.
He came to Hamilton for a Feldman family reunion and I was truly inspired by his charm, spirit and courage.
My late husband Murray's mother was Larry's mom's first cousins.
I am truly sorry I didn't get to spend more time with him as I was very impressed when I did get to see him....a wonderful human being who will be sadly missed.
Fondly,
Tishelle Adelman

Larry was many things to many people. He was a father, grandfather, cousin and friend. He was a life force. He was passionate and loyal. He has left a hole in the world, in our family and in our hearts. We will always remember him with love.

We did not have a chance to say good-bye, you had left for your place in the sky.God made your bed for you to sleep and now it is time for us to weep.The dust shall return to the earth and the spirit unto god who gave it. Sadly missed and always remembered. Especially your laughter and smile. May your soul be bound to the bond of life. Chuck Carol Adam Aaron Carte (Cayuga on)

We first met Lawrence when he was fighting to save the Chimo Achievement Centre; the BCCPD assisted Lawrence in his valiant effort, but sadly he was not successful and the Centre was closed down. Lawrence kept in touch and we talked and emailed from time to time. He was a great guy and we were so sorry to hear about his passing. Our sincere condolences to his family and other loved ones.

Sorry to hear of Larrys passing, glad I was able to help him in a small way when College Printers closed.

Lawrence - what can I say...you are one of a kind and I will miss you terribly! I will miss your intellect, your humour and your friendship.
My love goes to your family.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

My most heartfelt and sincerest condolences on the passing of Lawrence. He was such a vibrant human being and I enjoyed knowing and working with him at Chimo Achievement Centre for over 18 years. He was loved and will be missed.

God Saw You… – Words of Sympathy

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, “Come to me”.
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

Thinking of you Steve and Nancy!

I was very, very sorry to hear of Lawrence's passing and had hoped to visit him in hospice but only learned he was there shortly beforehand. I've known Lawrence since 1975, when he worked at College Printers and I was at The Ubyssey student newspaper at UBC. He was a great guy and he become a great advocate for people with disabilities as he battled MS. His fight to save Chimo Achievement Centre recently was inspiring. Lawrence will be sadly missed - condolences to all family and friends.

Sincere condolences to you all. I knew Larry for many years both as a neighbour and a friend. He leaves a wonderful legacy for all, treasured memories.

Dear Joan and Family, Please accept my
sincere condolences on the loss of your
loved one Larry. May each of you hold
special memories and good times together close to your hearts forever.Peace.
