LARRY JAMES SPROTT It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Larry James Sprott of Carman on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 at the age of 67. Larry is survived by his three daughters: Pam and Jeff McConnell (Scott, Krista); Tracey and Steve Pearson (Jordan, Austin); Karen Sprott and John Beever (Jack, Jaime); his sister Kathy McEachern (Malcolm); his two brothers Lee Sprott, Brian Sprott (Lori). as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Larry was predeceased by his father Allan, mother Marjorie and infant sister Judith. Larry was born on August 28, 1943 in Miami, MB and moved to Carman shortly thereafter. Larry worked alongside his father Allan at Carman Frosted Foods and later took over the family business. He was an active member in the Royal Canadian Legion and the Masonic Lodge. He served on the town council and was active in the business community. In the early years he was an avid hunter and in the later years an avid fisherman. Playing any form of cards, but in particular cribbage was a favourite pastime. Larry was very proud of his three daughters, the husbands they chose, and his six very unique and precious grandchildren. He raised them in a manner that they all learned a strong work ethic, fairness, how to overcome obstacles and how to always move forward with their lives. He was truly a great mentor, teacher and inspiration. Larry has lived his entire life in Carman and the surrounding area and has many friends and acquaintances. He also had a strong sense of keeping in touch with extended family by cards, phone calls and personal visits. He will be missed by all. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at the Carman United Church with Rev. Harold Kenyon officiating. Interment will take place at the Greenwood Cemetery, Carman. Memorial donations may be made to the Carman United Church, Box 1177, Carman, MB R0G 0J0. The Clock of Life The clock of life is wound but once And no man has the power To tell just when the hand will stop At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own, Live, love, and toil with a will, Place no faith in tomorrow, For the clock may then be still.
