• Notes

  SNODDON, Lawrence Douglas - Larry was born October 21, 1941, and passed away suddenly May 24, 2009. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends. Larry was predeceased by his father Jack Snoddon. He is survived by his mother Nora Snoddon, sisters Lorraine Willett (Kerry) and Karen Munro (Roger Ringuette), and brothers David (Joey) and Ken (Crystal), son David (Danielle) and daughters Jo-Anne Barber (Glen) and Lisa Drinkwalter (Trent). Larry had a special place for his grandchildren, Devin, Natasha, Robbie, Megan, Jack and Joe as well as his nieces and nephews Neil, Erica (Gavin), Laura, Yolaina, Jesse, Katy, Olivia, Polly, Arthur, Connor and Brooke. He will be particularly missed by his close friends Doug, Theresa, Murray and Carolyn, Wayne (deceased) and their children Travis, Wendy and Connie who considered him a dear uncle. Larry gave his time freely and was always happy to lend a hand when it was needed. Whether it was fixing a leaky roof, building a set of shelves, removing trees or picking out the family's “Charlie Brown“ Christmas tree, he was there. He enjoyed a gag or two, having coffee with friends, hiking with his grandchildren, his annual hunting and fishing trips, a game of chess or hockey game and planning his next project. Larry “retired“ as a stationary engineer with the NBPH in 2000, but his services and knowledge were greatly valued and he continued to work for several companies including Tembec and Goodyear. Larry was very resourceful and would rather build or fix something himself than buy it new. He built a home from scratch in the 1970's on Trout Lake, staked his claim to an amethyst mine, was an accomplished painter and always had many projects on-the-go. Larry was an avid fisherman who knew Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake well and would often share his catch-of-the-day with family and friends. Every year he took part in his son's fishing derby and he enjoyed taking the fishermen/women out to his favourite fishing spots during the family reunions at the Waltonian. The family will receive friends at MARTYN FUNERAL HOME, Friday, May 29 between 2 p.m. - 4 p.m and 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Donations can be made to the Salvation Army.
