Len & Linda Rimmer
Mary. Our sincere condolences in your time of sadness. You and Larry were always such good neighbors to our parents, especially after the death of our father ‘Barney’. My earliest memories of Larry stem from when we bought penny candy in Glen Robinson’s grocery store. I especially recall Larry’s sense of humour, when at the ripe old age of twelve, I was babysitting while you and Larry went out bowling with another couple. On returning, you found me soundly asleep just inside the locked door. I was awaken by the sound of Larry’s laughter, as he climbed through the window above the sink.
Larry will be missed and remembered by the Rimmer family.

Mary and Family
It has been my privilege to be acquainted with the Cronyn Family for more than one generation. I distinctly remember Larry either stocking shelves or carrying out groceries – a man of few words with a cheery smile and sense of humour. I also know he has a family who will cherish him as a husband, father, grampa and great grampa. God has blessed you and your faith will sustain you!
My sympathy to each and everyone of you…..
Ray and Judy Mills
Dear Mary, Joanne, Mike, Mark, Lori, Lynn and families;
Please accept our most sincere and deepest sympathy at this time. I am sorry we are not able to offer our condolences in person. Larry was a wonderful guy, a super friend, and an extremely hard worker. He enjoyed life, a good joke, a good drink and fun times. His work ethic was second to none. I remember watching him at the store in Huron Park as he literally ran from the back of the store to the front, then turned around and almost ran back again. I have never seen such a desire to accomplish all that he could in every day – accept when I have watched Mike, Joanne and Lynn do the same thing in the same store, and Mark do that in his work jobs and Lori in the bank. Your father taught his family well and what a wonderful gift to give you – a work ethic, second to none. Larry also gave his family many happy memories, many stories to recall, many sayings and pictures to share. He was always so proud of his family and his friends always seemed to mean a lot to him as well. Life has not been easy for Larry, nor his family, over the last few years. But Larry never gave up, never gave in until the very end. His persistence is another gift he gave to his family. I remember coming to pick up our sons at Mary’s from time to time and Larry would have one or two babies or children hanging around him, perhaps even one on his knee – and all this after a full day of work. I remember how he enjoyed partying at Mike and Lynn’s wedding rehearsal party and wedding and at other get-to-gethers at Lynn and Mike’s. The fun times. These are some of the memories that will help to get each of you through the next days, weeks and months. Although he is gone physically, you can never lose his spirit as long as you have his memories and pass them on to each of your family members.
God bless each of you. Know that we are thinking of you and praying for you.
Love – Ray, Judy, Brent, Lillian, Kurt
