Dad worked for Nova Scotia power for years and had recently retired. Although no longer working he certainly missed his work friends. Dad enjoyed hunting and fishing. Despite being sick we still managed to plant his beautiful vegetable garden with a lot of his guidance.
Larry loved his family and enjoyed face timing with his granddaughter and grandkids as well as his mom. He enjoyed visits with his family and friends especially our family potlucks. Larry loved animals and enjoyed his time with his cat “Tiny”. He always had a special place in his heart for his dogs Lucy and Meaky.

We would like to thank all of the care dad received during his cancer journey including the Thoracic unit, radiation unit and cancer center at The QE11, chemotherapy unit at Valley Regional hospital, Collaborative practice, Annapolis Royal, all the local hospitals, EHS, VON and palliative care and care team.
