Larry and Sylvia loved Mexico, it was their home away from home. Larry was also a golfing fanatic, playing golf every weekend with his son’s Kent and Chad. Larry also loved his football, especially the Saskatchewan Roughriders, it was love/hate relationship with those Riders, but he always said, “Bleed Green”. Larry also loved dogs, and had many over the years, but he especially had 2 that touched his heart, Midnight who passed away at age 16 in 2006 and currently Lilly who is 13, who he absolutely loved and adored.
