Larry was born on July 19, 1935 to Dave and Margaret Rogers of the Wawota district (NW 1/4 - 34 - 10 - 2 W2) and passed away peacefully on October 21, 2006 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Larry lost his beloved wife, Claire on October 3, 2005, also to cancer, and never really got over it. We knew Dad didn’t look well, but we thought with Mom sick, the worry and stress was what it was. We should have guessed, Because that was the type of man Dad was, to put others first and not think about himself. The classic love story, two weeks after Mom’s funeral, he came forward, declined treatment causes he wanted to be with Mom. After 46 years together they just weren’t meant to wander this earth alone.

Dad was born on a farm, grew up on the same farm, joined the army once he was old enough, then returned home and took his training to be an electrician. He worked for several years in Regina for Sun Electric, was married to Claire Agnes Laliberte on September 19, 1959. They resided in Regina, Moose Jaw, then moved to Carnduff in 1961, moved back to the family farm where he farmed and wired till his passing. Dad loved the outdoors, he loved camping, cookouts, snow-mobiling, and especially horseback riding. He seemed to ride a horse like he was born on one. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered, along with Mom, until we meet again.
