HEANEY, Lawrence David “Larry” Heaney, Obituary

 

Heaney LarryHEANEY, Lawrence David “Larry” – Of R#2 Walkerton, peacefully at Hanover and District Hospital on Friday, December 25, 2015 in his 76th year.  

Born in London, Ontario on January 24, 1939 to the late William “Wally” and Gladys (nee Mantle) Heaney.

Larry was a Teacher at J.D.S.S. and will be remembered for teaching Physical Education to many students. He could be found driving the kids to many of their games and functions during those years and enjoyed making many memories in the halls and gymnasium of JDSS. With his love of Physical Education, came a passion for sports. He could be found on the ice as a former Maverick for the Old Timers Hockey many years ago.

Along with his passion for sports, came a love of travelling, often taking the scenic routes to various trips with the family.

Greater than his love for teaching, was Larry’s love for his loving wife Hilara (nee Waechter) Heaney and together they unconditionally loved their children.

Devoted father of Bill (Bev) Heaney of Oakville, Brian (Tammie) Heaney of Waterloo, Barry (Kelly Ann) Heaney of Walkerton and his only daughter Sandra (Des) Cartier of Belwood.

He was always patient with his grandchildren Mollie, Emma, Megan, Connor, Neil, Ray, Finn, Logan, Sidney and Declan. As a doting grandpa, they always brought a twinkle to his eye and he enjoyed their many activities in sports and other events.

Remembered fondly by his brother Peter Heaney of Kitchener and sisters in law Sheila Heaney of Napanee, Jean Waechter, Helen (Linus) Kraemer, Irene (Les) Csontos.

Predeceased by his son David and brother Ron Heaney, brothers in law Jerome Waechter, Bryce Troy, Clarence Waechter and sister in law Edna (Peter) Lang.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, December 30, 2015 at 11:00 am at Holy Family Church, Hanover. Father Gary Schlack officiating. Interment in Hanover
