The family of Larry W. Lowe wish to announce that after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease, Larry has passed away in Queens Manor Nursing Home, on February 1st, 2021. Although we grieve our loss, we rejoice in the knowledge that Larry is now with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, whom he loved so much.
Larry was born in Caledonia Cottage Hospital on February 26th, 1948, the son of Henry Arthur Lowe and Audrey Xina (Frail) Lowe and grew up in Westfield, Queen’s County, along with an older brother (Robert Glenwood Lowe) and many other family relatives nearby.
Larry is survived by his wife Lynn Kempton-Lowe (Milton) and his four children: Todd (Nancy Taylor) Lowe, in Carp, Ontario; Crystal Lowe-Pearce (Nicholas Pearce) in Halifax, N.S.; Jonathan (Leone Saulnier) Lowe in Meteghan, N.S.; and David Lowe in Lower Sackville, N.S. Larry is also survived by his six precious grandchildren: Alicia, Marcel, Jasmine, Nathan, Zachary and Rylie. Larry is also survived by his brother Robert Glenwood Lowe, as well as a number of brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and other extended family. Larry was predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Audrey Lowe, as well as still born baby “Bobby”.
Larry worked at a variety of jobs during the course of his life, but most of his years were spent in the insurance business, both in sales and administrative positions. In 1980, Larry, Lynn and family decided to move back to the Liverpool, N.S. area once again – this time to take on the challenge of building Larry’s own Insurance Brokerage, ‘Larry Lowe & Associates’. Larry enjoyed working with people and was well liked by the countless number of clients that he had the privilege to serve during those years, and their children, who always looked for the bowl of candy that he always kept on his desk, in a place where they could reach it.
Larry was proud of his Mi’kmaw ancestry and was a member and elder of the Native Council of Nova Scotia. He was also a member of the Salvation Army and devoted countless hours of volunteer service to them over the years. He was one of the founding members of the local interdenominational ‘Christian Men’s Fellowship Group’ that met every second Saturday morning for breakfast and a time of praise and prayer.
Larry served as a Commissioner of Oaths for the Province of Nova Scotia, had his real estate License, as well as being a former Cub leader.
At home he enjoyed doing simple things, such as wood carving, tole painting, making pizzas and baking Christmas cookies. He was a man who will be remembered for the love that he had for his family.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Service, Liverpool. Due to the second wave of Covid, the ‘Celebration of Life’ service will be held at a later date at the Liverpool Salvation Army, followed by a reception, once health restrictions relax and the weather gets better. No visitation by request (extended family members will be notified of the date and time).
Larry’s family would like to extend a huge “thank you” to all the staff at Queens Manor, who not only provided Larry with excellent care during the time that he was a resident there, but also went out of their way to provide him with lots of interesting activities, while he was still able to participate in them, as well as provide love and comfort for Larry during the last stages of his illness, especially during the Covid lock-down, when his family was not able to be there with him.
Donations may be made to the Liverpool Salvation Army Community Church, Queens Manor Nursing Home, or directly to the family to help with the cost of the funeral, burial and headstone.
“Thank you and may God bless each and every one of you.” – Lynn and Family

I Knew In My Heart That He Would Have Done It For Me Or Anyone Else. Please Know That Larry Loved His Family Very Much, He Always Had So Many Nice Things To Say About You All.

So sad to hear of Dear Larry’s passing. You can be at peace that he is resting now. Larry and I had a special connection and I admired the way he never gave up whether it was pushing his grocery cart at superstore or reaching for his loved snacks. He was so devoted to you Lynn and always worried about you and you were such a caring and devoted wife throughout his struggles with his disease. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

Brigitte Gagne
Dear Todd, Nancy, Zachary, Rylie, and all of Larry’s family. I’m so saddened to learn of your loss. May this poem, that I chose for my mom’s memorial cards bring you some peace:
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free;
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
If my parting has left a void;
then fill it with remembered joy.
My life’s been full, I savoured much;
good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.
Sending you and your families peace and love in this difficult time.
Brigitte (& Troy)
Doug and Pat Lohnes

Dearest Lynn and family,
I was shocked to hear about Larry however not surprised that he went home again. Lynn I know how much you loved Larry and made his last years more rich for having done so. You are his angel on earth and now he will meet again, his family of angels in heaven! We will miss him and I pray that the relief he finally was given makes you feel better. Maybe not now, however if you are as strong in your faith as I know you are, in His time, I pray that you will! With love and prayers,
Bonnie and Norman.

Many of my good memories revolve around your family. Larry certainly was a giant of a man who loved his faith by example. As I take a moment to reflect today I thank God for you each one.

To Lynn and family…we are sorry to hear the passing of Larry…I met Larry back in my high school days when I was out on a work term…and worked for him for a bit…we remained friends through the years and would have a chat with him when I was visiting at the Manor…he is now set free from pain and I am sure he is walking the streets of gold in Heaven…REST EASY MY FRIEND…
LETTER FROM HEAVEN…
When tomorrow starts without me
and I am not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things
we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you loved me
as much as I loved you,
And each time you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me
don’t think we are far apart.
For every time you think of me
I’m right there in your heart!

Although not knowing Larry really well he used to come into the queens co Co Op in Caledonia Friday evenings as a base for his insurance sales . Larry always brought a smile to my face when walked through the doors of the co op , always had a smile on his face and only kind words for whoever I saw cross his path . To me that is Larry’s legacy putting a smile on a teenagers face and being kind to those he met . God bless and may you Rest In Peace and to those who were family and close friends my sincerist condolences .
