LAWRENCE PACHAL
We are sad to announce Larry passed away on Saturday, December 14 with his brother by his side. He was 73 years old. We were not prepared to lose him so soon.
Larry was big brother to Rosaline, Lenard (Lucie), Maureen (Eric); Uncle Larry to nieces Kathleen (Allen), Nicole (Diego) and Alanna.
Larry lived all his life in Winnipeg. He went straight from high school to beginning his 40 plus year career with Air Canada, making many lifelong friends. As an employee of Air Canada, Larry was able to travel to far away places including New Zealand and Japan, as well as many weekend getaways to watch NHL hockey.
Like other Winnipeggers, Larry was a huge Jets fan, having season tickets on the blue line for many years. He was very sad to see them leave and excited for their return. He enjoyed golfing in the summer and curling in the winter. Curling was a particular favourite of his in his earlier years, as evident by the many trophies and team photos throughout his home.
In retirement, Larry was a member of the Air Canada Pionairs, serving on the executive for many years. The Pionairs and his Air Canada friends were a second family. He enjoyed the many meetings, lunches and dinners.
We are grateful for the care Larry received from the many doctors and medical staff, especially the Palliative Care team.
A private family service will take place. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations may be made to St. Boniface Hospital Foundation or The War Amps in Larry's memory.

My condolences to the entire family. though I only met Larry once (at his fathers’s memorial service), Rosaline always spoke very highly of Larry and of her other siblings too, but Larry dedicated a lot of time and effort to caring for his mother after she was widowed, and it’s a shame that he passed at such a young age. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Joanne Weir (Family friend of Rosaline and Larry’s niece Kathleen) on: Jan 12, 2025

I am in shock. Larry, You are way too young to go (and this picture doesn't do you justice). Still, it's always the good ones who go early. You will be well missed. Rest in peace, pal. - Posted by: Brian Johnstone (Air Canada colleague, and friend.) on: Dec 28, 2024

I will miss my cherished friend very much and all those memories of the trips we went on I will forever remember. Japan and all our hockey football soccer trips you name it we did it were fantastic memories. - Posted by: Garry Guttek (Friend) on: Dec 21, 2024
