Larry was predeceased by his parents; parents-in-law; his son Michael Jackson; 1 brother and 1 sister. Larry had a 49.5 year career with Atco Electric (formerly Alberta Power). He was an avid sports fan and athlete in his day, with a fondness for hockey, football, baseball and curling. He was a gardening enthusiast and enjoyed feeding the birds year-round, with a particular soft spot for blue jays. Larry was proud of his family and their accomplishments; he loved his family. Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Larry’s life will be held later this summer. Flowers are welcome, however, in lieu of flowers donations may be made in Larry’s memory to S.T.A.R.S.
