HUMPHREYS, Enoch Clarence (Larry). Passed away on Saturday, March 26, 2005 after a very brief illness at the Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay at the age of one hundred and two. He was born in Montreal in 1902 and experienced many interesting jobs and was so proud of his 37 yrs at Hilroy in Toronto and driving the Royal Guard for the Prince of Wales around 1927. He joins his late parents and 10 siblings. He will be re-united with "the love of his life" Rhoda who predeceased him on June 25, 2004. He is survived by his only daughter, Ora Evola (Florida) and his devoted great niece, Donna Swanson, who had the privilege of sharing "Uncle Larry's" daily life over the past 10 months. He is also survived by a nephew, Ted Humphreys (Barbara) and many great & great-great nieces and nephews (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver). Larry will be sadly missed by his adoptive doggies, Buddy & Baxter ("the Baby") who brought him so much joy. Many thanks to Beverley Pierunek who assisted in his care and provided great companionship. Larry put all his faith and trust in Dr. Peter Anderson and appreciated his advice for more than 20 yrs. Larry had a great passion for his "Hawaiian Steel Guitar" and did his last dance steps on the 3rd floor of the RMH. Sincere thanks go out to the nursing staff who observed this remarkable man and provided exceptional care and attention. Cremation has taken place. A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation or to the Salvation Army would be appreciated by the family and may be made through the Mackey Funeral Home, 33 Peel Street, Lindsay K9V 3L9 (705-328-2721).
