Lawrence "Larry" Frederick Lacey

He is now reunited with his beloved wife Patricia who died in 2005. Larry was born in Montreal into a busy and loving family of eight children. He was a kind and faithful man. Larry was a long-time valued employee of Clarke Transportation (formerly Muirhead Forwarding) working out of the Peel Street offices in downtown Montreal. Larry met his beloved wife Patricia A. Griffin (Higgins) when she was a young widow with a 2-year-old son. He fell in love with them both and in 1957 they married and became a family. A year later, they welcomed Lawrence (Larry) Jr and their family was complete. Larry was a devoted and loving father to Kenneth Higgins (Carol Ann), and Lawrence (Larry) Jr. (Lyn), all of Guelph. He was the dear grandfather of Heather Patel (Ronak), Patrick Higgins (Sarah), Brendan Higgins (Shannon), Griffin Lacey (Hayley), and Courtney McPhee (Tyler). In his later years, he cherished visits from his grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren – Kieran, Maya and Devon Patel, Lauren and Lucas Higgins, Curtis and James Higgins, Lonan and Wynn Lacey and Cameron McPhee. In addition to his immediate family, Larry also leaves to mourn his remaining siblings, John (Diane) and Margaret O’Hara (late Gerald).
