Danni and Teresa, I was so sad to hear about Larry’s passing. I got to know not only your dad but both you girls while working at Maple Ridge Lanes, and I always enjoyed the cheeky dry wit that was a signature of your dads personality ! Your dad was brave and bold before it was “cool” to be that, and I know that over the years I saw even the most jaded old school bowlers, come to not only accept who and what your dad was, but to embrace him whole heartily !! Your dad loved you girls and I was witness several times to his huge smile as he announced the birth of yet another grandbaby. When I reflect on what your dad achieved in his life, I have to say that I am still to this day in awe that even in the small world of the bowling centre he led the way for acceptance and tolerance. Your family is in my thoughts…
