HARRINGTON, Laurence (Larry) – Of Guelph. Born January 13, 1943 peacefully passed away on February 23, 2023 surrounded by family.

Larry will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 55 years Susan (nee Firminger), his two sons Dwayne (wife Tara) and Paul (wife Diane), and his five wonderful grandchildren Kaylee, Braedon, Makenzie, Jacob and Kaitlyn. He also predeceases his two remaining brothers Clyde and Calvin.

Larry was a dedicated and loving father and husband. His love for life, easy out-going personality, his values and beliefs allowed him to be well-liked and respected by all who knew him. Larry joined the military and was a proud member of The Canadian Guards. He also served 2 tours of duty with The United Nations Peacekeeping Forces in Cypress. Later he worked for the Department of Corrections; Hillcrest Training School for young offenders, the Ontario Reformatory and then the Superior Court in Guelph.

Larry’s passion for sports, the Montreal Canadiens, Allouettes and Expos will go unsurpassed.

Larry, you will be missed dearly but never forgotten.

Very special thank you to Dr. Edwards, Dr. Shafir and all the medical staff who showed amazing compassion and on-going support for both Larry and his family during this very difficult time.

Larry’s wishes were to be cremated (Cremation has already taken place) and to have no funeral service.  Arrangements entrusted to the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL 519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com.

Memorial contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society would be much appreciated. 

 

A tree will be planted in memory of Laurence (Larry) Harrington in the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest.
