Dear Taylor family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. He was an amazing man, such a caring, respectful man. I remember the trips going to your cabin when we were younger, I know it’s a hard time for the family. My condolence to the family.

Larry was a wonderful man; a true patriarch. He will be remembered as a kind, gentle man with a great mind and love for his family. My thoughts are with his loved ones now and always.
Pete Carpenter
Sean and Family,
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Larry, and am fortunate to have travelled to Asia with him a couple of times a few years back. I can honestly say that if you looked up the word gentleman in the dictionary, you would see a picture of Larry Taylor.
Hugh Holman
Sean, Ryan, and the rest of the Taylor Family,
Larry was a class act, always. I really enjoyed working with him and know that he made a positive impact on so many people. I’m sure your family will carry on his positive energy and impact others in the same manner.
My condolences,
Hugh Holman

Larry was in every sense, a gentleman. Over the years he always treated me with respect and we shared a friendship unlike any typical boss/employee relationship. He genuinely cared for people and carried himself with dignity. I valued his engaging personality and will always cherish his mentoring and friendship. My condolences to his family and close friends.

Hi Linda & Family
I was truly shocked by this very sad news. Larry was a gentleman and one of the very best managers l ever had the pleasure of working with. Larry taught me so much all those years ago in Alberta. We had a lot of great laughs some of which l still chuckle about to this day. One such event was moving furniture into your condo in St. Albert. As we were carrying a rather heavy piece of furniture in Larry asked us to stop so he could dust it.
Please accept our deepest condolences.

Linda and family.
Gary and I were so sad to learn of Larry passing this past weekend. We enjoyed meeting Larry and enjoyed our far too brief friendship. As mentioned in the eulogy above, it was very evident of his love for all of you and his passion for the outdoors was certainly wonderful to watch. When he became ill his absence outside, as we drove up and down the driveway was very noticeable. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and if we can do anything up here in Huntsville for you, do not hesitate to let us know.

Danson/Ender Family
How saddened we all were to hear of Larry’s passing. We go back so many years, as our lives became so intertwined first professionally, and then socially! And even though as time passed, & it became fewer & further between the connection was a ‘forever’ bond ! Larry was a great conversationalist, and an ‘exceptional’ man who will truely be missed ! We look forward to our continued connection with all of you, now that we all reside in the Muskoka/Huntsville area !
Please know we are thinking of the entire ‘Taylor’ family, at this very difficult time.
I know how heavy the heart can get….but as time passes it seems less so….

It is unfortunate and with deep regret that I had to meet Larry under the circumstances … at the same time, I am very happy not to have missed the opportunity . He certainly left me with a lasting impression of the true meaning of will, determination and above all a true gentleman, and for that I am truly grateful!
Linda, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your loving family…

Thinking of you. May you find comfort knowing others share in the loss of your Husband, Father and Grandfather.
Looking out the window Larry could be seen out shovelling snow keeping the walk clean in front of both our homes or he would be pruning his beautiful gardens, often he would be putting new plants or flowers to add more colour. Remembering wonderful chats and as Corey told me sharing food over the fence…wonderful memories! Thanks for being a great friend and neighbour for the past 10 years. RIP
