Obituary For Lawrence A Smith

Lawrence A. Smith, Larry, 63, died suddenly of heart failure Feb 7, 2019. The second of six children born to Kay and Laurie Smith, Halifax, he was brother to Patricia, Stephen, Cathy, David, and Brian. His nieces and nephews will miss Uncle Larry. Survived also by Aunt Edie Warner and many cousins. A graduate of St Patrick's High School and Saint Mary's University (BA), Larry was a provincial basketball champion and loved sports, enjoying many football games with family and friends. He was kind, generous and humorous with a wide knowledge of history and politics. He loved gaming, a good book, good food, good wine and was a definite nighthawk. For many years he cared for our mother and other family members, always wanting to do more. We are grateful and indebted to him for that kindness, patience and fortitude. He is sadly missed for we were always six, and now are five. Arrangements under the care of Donald K Walker Funeral Directors Ltd. A Celebration of Life for Larry will be held in the Unilever Lounge, Sobey Building, Saint Mary’s University, Halifax on March 16th from 9:00 – 10:30 am. No flowers please.

    I am sad to hear of your loss. I knew Larry from St.Pat's and St. Mary's. Our connection was basketball and St. Mary's Lounge. I remember Larry as a kind person, always smiling. RIP Larry

    I was really sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Though I haven't seen him since high school, I remember him fondly from our days at St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Pat's High. He was truly one of the "good guys".

    I echo Doug Briand's sentiment. Larry was just a sweet, genuine guy who was always happy to run into old friends.

    My condolences to the Smith family. Larry was a great competitor. Loved playing basketball with him and against him at our weekend pickup games at Kings.
