Larry was a dedicated and loving husband to Grace for over 62 years and a proud and loving father to his children. He was a great provider and handy in all matters with the house and vehicles and was always looking for a project, especially after retirement.
Born on July 21, 1935 in Montreal, Quebec, he was the son of the late Macfield DuChene and Anna DuChene (nee Lachapelle).
He started with Bell Canada at 18 years of age, and at age 21 he married Grace and started a family. In 1967, the family moved to Virginia Beach and he began work for C & P Telephone. A few years later, the family moved to Loudoun County and Larry was a supervisor for AT & T. Larry retired from the phone company at 53 years of age, and started his own communication and wiring company in Richmond, Virginia. He fully retired and moved to Martinsburg in 2011.
He will be greatly missed and may he rest in peace.
Larry is survived by his wife, Grace DuChene (nee MacDonald); his children:
Daniel DuChene of Dartmouth Nova Scotia,
Lori England of Leesburg, Virginia, Marilyn DuChene of Markham, Ontario, Gina Degner of Hamilton, Ontario, and David DuChene of Martinsburg; grandchildren: Bethany, Ingrid, Megan, Nina, and Erin; and great-grandchildren: Mayven, Mabelle, Briar, Violet, June, Wren and Rosemary.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 at 11am at Rosedale Funeral Home.
