Steinman LarrySTEINMAN, Larry Ray   -  It is with great sadness that the family of Larry Ray Steinman share the news of his passing. Larry, age 71, passed away peacefully at Ian Anderson House on March 20, 2020 in Mississauga, Ontario, surrounded by his family after a long and courageous battle with lymphoma.

He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of nearly 48 years, Julie Steinman; children, Cameron (Alison) Steinman, Cayley (Nelson) Dow and Lukas (Anne Macmillan) Steinman; grandchildren, Will, Heidi, Lyla and Jasper and brother Randy (Mary LaBelle) Steinman.

Larry was predeceased by his mother Daisy Lapham and father Irvine D. Steinman of Sarnia, Ontario. Larry was known for his "one of a kind" charisma, sense of humour and ability to light up a room.

He was an expert conversationalist and public speaker, easily forming friendships by way of his sharp wit and ability to bring any room to hushed rumination or raucous laughter. He was warm, elegant and inspirational to many.

He was a natural leader, fiercely committed to caring for his family and friends and giving to causes or people in need.

He was a savvy businessman and an enthusiastic traveller. There are few people who have lived a life of intrigue such as Larry; he had a fervour for discovery and adventure. He survived a plane crash in Uganda after tracking the elusive mountain gorilla.

Larry will be whole-heartedly missed. He had a genuine care for people's wellbeing, and people responded in the most positive ways. Larry's larger-than-life personality will not be reduced by his passing.

We choose to hold the memory of him deep in our hearts, to guide us with each step forward. We will remember Larry dearly.

In Larry's memory, please consider donating to the Canadian Wildlife Federation or Ian Anderson House Hospice in Oakville.

Because of the pandemic, Larry's family has elected to postpone his Celebration of Life, originally planned for the end of August, to another time when everyone can celebrate the life and memory of Larry as he would have wanted – with lots of social interaction.

The family of Larry Steinman is pleased to confirm that his Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, August 27, 2021, at Toronto Golf Club, 1305 Dixie Rd., Mississauga, ON.

Please let us know if you will be joining us via email to celebratelarry2021@gmail.com 

Although Larry is in our thoughts everyday, we look forward to finally joining together in celebration of him and hope you will share with us your favourite memories of Larry. - The Steinman Family.
