I have been truly blessed having had the honour of calling Larry my friend. We started out as neighbours, which quickly developed into a lasting friendship and the deep love the Robinson's and Kys have for each other will forever makes us family. My heart is heavy, luv ya Lar...x
Start as neighbours, become friends, and grow into family. Larry was and will be loved for his strength, humor, and gentleness. Admiration and respect for Irene, proud to call you friend.
I am saddened to hear of Larry's passing. John knew him through LPD and I knew him through real estate. John passed in 2006 so I know the road you will be travelling without Larry. May it help to know that you are in my thoughts and that I am very sorry for your loss.
Irene and family Sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I feel fortunate to have to been able to assist Larry even thou it was only a few visits he and I had many laughs. He will be missed by all that knew him but many memories of laughter and good times will remain with all. May he be your guardian angel that shines brightly down on you.
Char and Chris, we are so sorry for your loss of one who had such a full life as was so well written up. You will take comfort in those many fine words of fondness and caring that precede this.
Irene....I was so saddened by Larry's passing. I worked with him for many years and he was a real gentleman and a gentle man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Larry will be missed terribly. He was a big, gentle man who had a way of making you feel important. He was always genuinely interested in what was taking place in your life and ready to lend a hand or advice. As a Euchre player, there was no one better!
