1938-2017
MACINTOSH, Lawrence “Larry” of Blackett’s
Lake passed away peacefully with family by his side on Sunday, October
22, 2017, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Palliative Care Unit
in Sydney.
Larry was born in 1938, the son of the late Joseph and
Gertrude (Cameron) Mac Intosh. Larry was an entrepreneur who
started his first business back in the late ‘50s,
‘Mac Intosh Landscaping, later known as Mac Intosh &
Sons Landscaping. In 1962 he married Jeanette who became his
lifelong partner not only in love and family but also in his
life’s work. Together, Larry and his wife opened
‘Sunshine Disposal’ in ’75, a company
that continues to serve Cape Breton Island today. He was
known for offering everyone a large smile, even during the hard times,
which gave him his nick name ‘smiley.’
Larry approached life with strength, tenacity and
passion.
Larry was dearly loved by his wife, Jeanette; daughters, Joy
(Andrew Final), Maria (Eric Sheppard), both of Dartmouth; Crystal
(Joel MacRae), who was a daughter to Larry even though she was his
granddaughter, Sydney; sons, Robb (Tena Moore), Glace Bay and Larry
Jr., at home; sisters, Cathy (Duncan) Gillis, Port Hawkesbury and
Margret Clare, Halifax; brothers, Fulton (Lisa), New Brunswick, Tommy
(Lynn), Economy and Paul (Christine), Ontario; grandchildren, Dawsyn
Moore and Devon LeBlanc; great-grandchildren, Grady and Finley
MacRae. Larry came from a large family of 13 and was
deceased by several sisters and brothers.
Larry will always be remembered as a loving husband, father
and grandfather who supported his family.
There will be no visitation. Funeral mass will be
held at Our Lady of Fatima Church on Wednesday, November
1st at 11:00 am with Rev. Duaine Devereaux
officiating. There will be a reception after the mass
downstairs at Lady of Fatima.
Memorials may be made to Palliative Care Society of Cape
Breton at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. We would like
to take this opportunity to extend our deepest thanks to the
Palliative Care team & the Hospice Society for always making
sure that Larry was comfortable and at peace during his journey with
cancer.
