Survived by his brother Phil (Mary) Sheehan, and sister-in-law Helen Peacock. He will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and friends.
Larry was a man of great faith and a generous gentleman who would do everything possible for his family and loved ones. He had a fabulous sense of humour right to the end. Throughout his life he was actively involved in his community being a member of the Jaycees, Kinsmen Club, The Gyro Club and Knights of Columbus. Larry was ‘all things music’. He truly enjoyed being involved as a member of A Cappella Niagara and in his younger years a member of The Merritton Grenadiers. Upon retirement from True Temper (Welland Vale Manufacturing in St. Catharines and Quebec) Larry continued to enjoy his love of numbers and finance by teaching accounting at Niagara College. He established ELJAY Consulting and he spent many years working at Hamilton Boiler Works amongst others. He was a sports enthusiast, steadfast and loyal fan of the Blue Jays, Maple Leafs, NY Yankees and Buffalo Bills (GO BILLS).
