There are certain people who touch the lives of those they know in a unique way. Knowing them brings us joy and inspiration, and when they’re gone, memories of all they’ve done stay with us...Your loved one was one of those people to me and to all who knew Lars, and were invited to his home, affectionately called called the Bee Hive. We’re all grateful to have known such a special person. With Sympathy and Understanding, Hugs. - Posted by: Vicki Poirier (Old friends) on: Dec 11, 2020

Larry could talk to anybody, full of energy. We were friends as kids, used to go to Victoria Beach with him and his parents. Have wondered for years how he was, sorry to see his passing. - Posted by: David Arnold (long lost childhood friend) on: Jun 06, 2014
