Larry was a giver. He was always working to provide for his family, training his children, and loving his wife. Larry was a great example to many and he will be missed. May the Lord Jesus surround Tanya, Megan, Amber, Jonathan, and their family with peace and assurance knowing that Larry is enjoying the full presence of our Father in heaven. Isn't it good to know that a guy who knows how to make fishing nets is now face-to-face with the original "fishers of men".

We are so sad to hear of this. Mike and Larry had plans to do some kayaking and biking as soon as they both retired in the near future. Larry will be missed dearly. Our prayers are with your family. May God grant you consolation and strength in the days to come. Love, Mike and Debbie Wilbur
