Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 55 years, Simone, his sons Wayne (Kristine), Denis (Joy) and daughters Rachelle and Lianne, his brother Louis (Helena), sisters-in-law Agnes (Guy) Lacroix, Jeannette (Richard) Pashelka and brother-in-law Gerald (Alice) Thorimbert. Hilaire will be missed by his grandchildren Robert and Jacquie, Lauren and Dillon and Sarah, extended family, along with many nieces and nephews. His grand-dog' Butterscotch was a constant companion and is searching the house for his friend. Predeceased by his parents, Rene and Marie (nee Ricard) and brothers John (Myrna) and Edmond (RoseMarie). Larry lived all his life in St. Norbert, MB. One of Larry's first jobs was working at the R.M of Fort Garry. Later, he owned and operated a heavy equipment business. Operating a grader was his vocation as well as his hobby. His passion for his work made him an expert in his field. He helped build many roads across the province of Manitoba. A source of great pride was being part of the team that built the Floodway in St. Norbert. A man of few words, but his kind soul, warm smile and hearty laugh would always light up a room. His pride was his family. At gatherings, he was often seen looking at his grandchildren with admiration always wondering what the future held for them. Now his memory will be their guide. The family would like to thank the tireless dedication of Dr. G. Harding and staff at the Health Sciences Centre and Dr. Brian Sharkey and nurses at the Victoria Hospital. Their kindness was exceptional. A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, August 23 at 11:00 a.m. with viewing at 10:15 a.m. and eulogy at 10:45 a.m. at St. Norbert Parish, 80 St. Pierre Street.

Uncle Larry used to always say better late than never, so my apologies for my tardiness gettin this written! Many years growing up next door to were filled with entertainment with your humour and your unmistakeable laugh. As a boy we would spend hours in the shop working on equipment in the evenings and on the weekends. I always looked forward to that time, because I would learn so much and we'd share many laughs. I do wish that I could have visited more while you were in the hospital. How I enjoyed the talks we had about the past and the future. Your adoration and pride of your family was obvious. It's still wonderful getting together with everyone at your house now, even though you're gone, because auntie Simone and the kids make everyone feel so welcome. I must say this though, there is a huge hole without you there! So long uncle.... With love! Dan - Posted by: Dan Grandmont (Nephew ) on: Oct 08, 2015

I had the privilege to know Larry when he worked for the Province of Manitoba and when he started his own business. Larry was not only a Top notch Operator he was A Top notch Person as well and always was willing to show you what makes for a good Operator on a Motor Grader and if you had seen any of Larry's work then you knew you were learning from the best. Larry may you rest in peace as you earned it - Posted by: Brian Graham (co-worker and friend) on: Aug 22, 2014
