Larry was retired from Metro Transit, where he was the body shop supervisor. He took great pride in painting and decaling Metro Transit buses. Prior to his many years at Metro Transit, he opened his own body shop in Mount Uniacke and also worked at the Halifax Water Commission.
Larry had a passion for painting and restoring antique cars and motorcycles for many fortunate people. He was always tinkering with something out in his garage/man cave. Dad enjoyed life and spending time with his family and grandchildren. He loved camping and relaxing around a camp fire, he never missed an opportunity to crack a joke or tease someone, and most of all never missed an opportunity for a water fight. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
We will be having a graveside service for him on Saturday June 25, 2022 at 1 p.m. in Sandy Hill Cemetery, Hardwoodlands, followed by a reception at 2 p.m. in Hardwoodlands Community Center.
