Lawrence Begin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 28, 2011.

Begin, Lawrence Peter (Larry)

"Peacefully, having lived a wonderful life, Larry passed away in his 77th year with his family by his side on February 27, 2011. Predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Helen Begin. Beloved husband of Jean (nee Eagles) for 54 years. Treasured father of Arthur and his wife Lisa, and their children Sarah and Hunter. Lovingly missed father of Ellen and her husband Carmelo D'Angelo, and their children Joseph and Isabella. Dear brother of Lorraine and Russell. Larry was retired from Stelco after 44 dedicated years of service in the Galvanize Department. He enjoyed his time doing puzzles with his grandchildren and watching the Montreal Canadiens with his daughter. Larry's bright smile was even wider upon picking up the family in his aluminum boat at his Muskoka cottage in Port Severn, where he enjoyed teaching his fishing skills to Joseph and Isabella. His favourite spot at the cottage was sitting on the swing watching the western sunset with his dog. In keeping with Larry's request, cremation has taken place. His family will receive friends for visitation at the Cresmount Upper James Chapel, 1020 Upper James St. on Friday March 4 from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m and a memorial service on Saturday March 5 at 11 a.m. The family invites friends to go to www.cresmountupperjameschapel.com and sign the guest book.

Grandpa, we love you and we will miss watching the sunsets together on the swing. Love Joseph and Isabella."
