We are so very, very sorry for your loss. Larry’s passing will no doubt leave a large void that will need to be filled with all of your wonderful memories. We remember Larry’s jovial side and humour at the many Christmas Eves at Marg & Bert’s. We hate to have to miss his memorial service, but due to Covid, we are both home bound right now.
