Laurence Houlachan
May 2, 1926 – December 21, 2018
Laurence Houlachan “Larry”, Dad’s gone home to be with Mom for Christmas, her favourite time of the year.
After nine years of missing his beloved wife, Anne, Laurence passed away in his 93rd year on December 21st, 2018. Laurence is predeceased by his parents Mary and Lawrence Houlachan, and his brothers, John (Betty), James, and Francis, and his sister Bridie (Martin), all of Motherwell, Scotland. Laurence was the devoted father of Frances (Barry), Gerry, Paul (Kim), Anne Marie (George), Lorna (John), Larry (Kim), and Kevin (Diane). He is predeceased by his infant daughter Monica (1960). Laurence was the proud grandfather of Kyle, Ryan, Jessica, Emily, James, Tegan, Monica, Annilee, Joshua, Jacob, Jesse, Tyler, and Dylan, and their partners; and great-grandfather to Jaden, Alden, Zoey, Zavier, Ethan, and Alex. He will be sadly missed by his loyal brother- and sister-in-law, Danny and Kathleen; by his nieces and nephews; and by all family and friends in Canada and Scotland. At the request of the family, there will be no visitation. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Margaret Mary Church, 20 Idlewood Avenue, on Friday, December 28th, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Mount Hamilton Cemetery, followed by a reception at St. Margaret Mary Church hall. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, and staff at St. Peter’s Hospital, and at the Juravinski Hospital, who provided loving and compassionate care while Dad was there. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to St. Peter’s Hospital. Dad, you taught us the importance of loyalty and endurance in life and relationships. We are glad you’re finally where you have wanted to be – back with your loving Anne. Peace be with you.
