Larry became a part of our family when he and Dianne first became an “item” about five years ago and we got to meet him when they came to Saskatchewan for a surprise 50th wedding anniversary for Trudie and I. He was an instant hit with all of the Laporte family that were gathered. He treated Dianne so well, it confirmed to all of us that they made a great couple.
We holidayed together for a couple of weeks in Mexico and we really got to know more about him, his family, and the interesting projects in his career. We thoroughly enjoyed being with them. They had planned another visit to Puerto Vallarta, but unfortunately that did not happen as his original diagnosis and treatment prohibited travel. We talked on the phone often, or were we just listening to Dianne and Trudie, I forget. In any event, right to the end, his spirits were always high and he exhibited the same strong and jovial guy we got to know and love.
Trudie and I will miss him but not forget him. Dianne and all his family and friends have our deepest sympathies. If conditions permit we are planning on meeting many of you in the fall.
Bob and Trudie
