Larry was born in Smeaton, Saskatchewan on October 4, 1942. The family moved to BC in 1953. The family first settled in Island Cache in Prince George. His first job was a partnership in the Plaza 4 Dry Cleaners; then he tried his hand at residential and commercial painting. He then found his passion and started out with an arch truck in the early 60’s. Larry continued to own and operate trucks and stayed in business for 45 years until he retired in Prince George.

Survived by his eldest son James (Dawne) Johnson, daughter Susan (Greg) Pohynayko, daughter Tina (Frank) Washington, son Curtis (Darcy) Hansen, son Bradley (Nancy) Johnson, 17 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and his sister Arlene (Wally).

Larry was predeceased by his parents Eric and Annie, his three siblings Wilfred, Elsie, Stanley and grandson Nathan.

Larry enjoyed many hobbies including being in the outdoors hunting, fishing, woodworking, curling, baseball and having a good time.

Our family would like to express gratitude and a heartfelt thanks to all the nurses, caregivers, and staff at Gateway Lodge.

Larry’s wishes were to have a Celebration of Life and it will take place at a later date with family and close friends.
