    The very first time we meet Larry and Joyce was at their wedding we went to sexsmith and went to their wedding dance with a couple that knew them and was told that Larry and Joyce would love the extra guests and they were right they gave us a wedding hug and said nice to meet you.

    Irene and Joyce, I am so sorry to hear of Larry's death. He is a "one in a million" guy and I only hope that your memories of Larry will help you through your grief. He will always be special as I remember his love and respect for our family, especially his Uncle Stanley. I wish I could be at his service to pay my respects but I am out of the country and not returning until after his service. I will be thinking of you in these difficult times. Please accept my condolences to you and your family. Sharon Johnson (Stanley and Elsie's eldest)

    Even the strongest will be brought down to their knees, and that's OK, as long as you get back up on your feet and continue taking care of all your life endeavors.... my heart hurts for your loss...

    I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad Jay. Please let your Mom & the rest of your family know that I'm thinking of them as well. Thanks for always making me feel welcome when I visited you & Brett in Edmonton. I loved watching all of you play basketball back in the day!! Lots of love Brett & Bart's Mom Val MacAlister

    Just want to send heartfelt condolences to all of you and let you know that we have been thinking of you. Mom and Dad (Lawrence and Gunda) have kept us posted. I am so sorry Larry did not have more time in this life. I personally think God takes the Angels first. Clearly he was needed elsewhere. We have not seen much of everyone the last few years but have lots of memories of Larry and the horses and family get togethers when we were kids. I like to think he is also catching up with Telmer. I am especially touched learning that Larry has been involved with the ranch and helping children with disabilities. I wish I had been able to have a conversation with him about his work there as well. You are all in our thoughts. Lorraine, Dave, Robin and Eric Jessee
