Avid reader. English teacher. Hockey coach. World traveler. Community volunteer. Football player. Late night comedy goer. Amico. These are some words that capture who Larry was and will be remembered by.

Similar to how Larry dealt with all learned and lived experiences, he managed his sudden illness with strength and grace. Larry peacefully passed on the 21st day of June 2021 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario. Born on the 19th day of February 1945 in Hamilton, Ontario, Lawrence “Larry” Chiarot, beloved husband of Mary (née Cowan) of 54 adventurous years; dear sons Cameron, Colin (Melissa) and adored grandsons Cooper and Carter. Larry was the youngest of five children of late Italian immigrant parents, Bruno and Natalina Chiarot and brothers Roland (“Ron”) and Dino. Survived by brother Rudolph (“Rudy”) (Marion) Chiarot, sister, Nancy Chiarot along with numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Larry graduated in the spring of 1968 with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Waterloo Lutheran University (Wilfrid Laurier University) and completed his teaching certification from the University of Western Ontario. Larry’s career and flare for adventure, took he and his family across Ontario, living in cities, small towns, and rural farming communities. Larry began his 32-year career teaching English and later helping students as a Guidance Counsellor. If you had the opportunity to meet Larry, you would have witnessed his humorous icebreaker “Ya know, I was in prison!” Larry got a kick out of seeing the reaction on the faces of people he just met. Truthfully, Larry, was in prison, but fortunately he was on the outside of the locked cells where he was responsible for helping setup an academic program for a maximum-security facility in Ontario.

Larry was passionate about teaching, but not only in a classroom setting – As an avid reader and traveller, Larry enjoyed sharing his experiences and learnings with family, friends, and strangers in an elevator. Larry, an extrovert, liked to be surrounded by people and was always willing and interested in new experiences and adventures. During his life, Larry renovated the family home, built a cottage, drove a used Canadian military ambulance, enjoyed fishing, and volunteered for a local railway committee.

Indeed, Larry had a wonderful and fruitful life, and he will always be remembered for his charm, wit and friendship. Lawrence ci mancherà, ma non sarà dimenticato.

Cremation has taken place. A private family interment has taken place. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the St. Mary's Hospital Foundation or Canadian Cancer Society.

Magdalene Jenkins came from Europe by ship across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada at the age of 3 years old with her sister and mother in 1929. They joined her father who had immigrated earlier to Canada to find work. Raised during the Great Depression Magdalene or Maggie as she was known grew up to become a resilient and self-reliant person. The family first moved out west and later settled in Toronto. Maggie graduated from high school and later married Keith Jenkins. They had a family of three children. Maggie was a full-time mother who loved her children, and she was a devoted mother. When Maggie and her husband separated, she found work as a Travel Agent to support herself and her children, a job that she held for many years. Maggie loved to travel and took the opportunity to travel with friends from time to time when trips became available through her travel agency. She enjoyed cooking, reading, watching movies, shopping, going for walks with friends, family and spending time with her children and grandchildren.  Maggie was a great cook, and she would often try new recipes and liked to bake desserts. She was very close to her older sister Eva, and they often visited each other or talked on the phone. In her later years Maggie needed the supportive care of a retirement home and then nursing home care.

It is with deep sorrow and much sadness that we mourn the peaceful passing of Agnes Major, known only as Sheree to those she loved and held dear.  
 
On May 24th 2021 after a lengthy and hard fought battle with cancer our wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend departed this world to be with the Lord at the age of 68.
  
Born on June 5th 1952, a Bell Island Newfoundland native, Sheree was the kind of woman who loved fiercely and always put others first. When they say girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, they were referring to her. Sheree was instantly loved by all who came to meet her, including animals. There truly was not a mean or malicious bone in all of Sheree's body. She met the love of her life, Rick, in February of 1987 and they married in 1988; together they built a beautiful life in Ontario. Over 34 years and countless laughs and smiles their memories stitched together the tapestry of their fairytale romance.  
 
Sheree is predeceased by her parents Jack and Kathleen Kent, her grandson John Fox, sister Kay Kent and brothers Joe Kent (Lorraine) and Gord Kent (Paula) . 
 
Left to lovingly remember her is her husband Rick and their fur baby Boo, as well as her daughters Jacintha Fox (Bill) and Sheree Kent (Gary) her grandchildren Brooke Hammond (Mason), Jalisa Fox (Shane) and Jordan Fox (Breanna) along with her siblings Jack Kent (Gloria), Bill Kent (Linda), Tony Kent (Diane), Barry Kent (Mona), Alana Walters (Bob), Mario Kent (Donna), and her very dear sister in-law Marion Potts, together with numerous nieces, nephews and friends. 
 
She was our earthly angel spreading happiness, positivity and belly laughs. She is now our guardian angel and her passing leaves a hole in our hearts that we as a family can only try to fill with her happy memories and zest for life.
