Larry had a great sense of humor that was evident in his playful nature.
You could often find Larry on his scooter around town, looking for bottles to recycle.
He enjoyed doing this so much to pass his time, and make a little extra spending money, that his neighbours would bring him their recycling.

Larry enjoyed western movies and antiques such as clocks and radios. \
Larry loved wearing and collecting wrist and pocket watches.
Larry loved a warm pair of gloves and a warm jacket.
Larry was also a man of many hats, but his favorite attire was western wear with a snappy new cowboy hat and pair of cowboy boots.
Larry was loved by many people in this community and the communities he lived in previously.
Larry's charming personality, warm smile and loving nature will be greatly missed but always remembered by all that have had the pleasure of meeting him.
