Jun 18, 2025Our deepest condolences to the family. We knew Larry Pyburn the painter from the maintenance department at Confederation Life. We were very close friends with him. Enjoyed his company in our cottage as well as our home. We enjoyed many years of fun times with him. Lost track of Larry once he moved to Orillia, Ontario. Tried looking him up on Facebook but could not find him. Very sad news to hear that he has past away. Rest In Peace our friend Larry Pyburn.🙏😥

Aug 30, 2024Larry was one of the kindest sweetest souls I've ever met. He used to live in our apartment building. Our whole family loved him. Every time my little grandson would visit nana he would have to go show Larry something or just go talk to Larry. He had a kind word for everyone and we greatly missed him. I remember when I moved into the building. I'd hear scraping and shovelling at 6am. I'd look out the window and it was always Larry out digging out cars for the elderly people in the building. He helped everyone in any way he could. I miss our hours long chats and hearing about his wonderful childhood and his great love for his family.

May 31, 2024Larry was a great guy who wore his heart on his sleeve. His smile and sense of humor would light up a whole room. It was a great pleasure to work with him in the short period of time we had with him.
