Tribute

Larry Douglas Burroughs September 9, 1931 – April 5, 2018 It is with great sadness the family of Larry Douglas Burroughs announces his passing. Larry was predeceased by his son Alan. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 64 years Winnie, a daughter Carol (Don), a son Brian (Puk), one brother Ken and many extended family. Larry is going to be greatly missed by all. He was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, but moved at the age of two to Powell River, where his father worked for the Powell River Company. Larry was a member of the Westview Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years. He loved boating and fishing and he and Winnie spent many happy hours up the coast just being on the water. In his early working years, Larry had many jobs, but he was most happy when he worked for Powell River Stages LTD, and was one of the three drivers to be chosen to drive the new bus route from Powell River to Vancouver when the road opened in the 1950s. Most of his career was spent in the service station business and 22 years as the Shell Oil bulk plant distributor, 30 years in all. At Larry’s request, there will be no service.
