Larry was a 24-year civilian employee with the Department of National Defense, Halifax Dockyards. Larry will be remembered to all as a model husband, father, family man, friend and most of all as a community man – He was the Vice President (VP) of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club, Atlantic Regional Visible Minority Advisory Group, VP of the Usher Board of the East Preston United Baptist Church, former President and VP of the Nova Scotia Mass Choir, Halifax Community YMCA, East Preston Boys & Girls Club, Volleyball Referee, Basketball Coach, Main Street 7’s Bowling League member, Girl Guide Canada Volunteer, School Board Volunteer, and numerous Charities. Larry was simply there for whomever and whatever cause required his assistance, there was not a favor or request that he would turn away. Weather it was constant teasing and joking or for lending his helping hand, he will be greatly missed by all he touched. Larry enjoyed spending his time fishing, traveling, golfing and various other sports, and most of all he loved to be on his motorcycle “feeling the breeze and being free”.
