Larry Giesbrecht, born March 21, 1950, passed away May 14, 2012. Left to cherish his memory is his wife Martha of 40 years, their children: Michelle and Paul, Nelson and Jenni, Perry and Aubrey; grandchildren: Joshua, Annalyn, Owen and Jane. Also mourning Larry’s passing is his mother Margaret, brother Gord and Cathy, sisters Shirley and Merv, Elaine and Arnold as well as his many nieces, nephews, and extended family. Larry was predeceased by his father Gord. Larry was a loving husband, a devoted father, and an avid truck driver. He retired from Winnipeg Transit in 2004, and went back to trucking without missing a beat. However, as much as he was interested in trucks, he was more interested in people. Larry loved life and enjoyed spending time chit-chatting with family and friends. When talking with you, Larry would make you feel like you were the most interesting and valued person in the room. His laughter and his smile will always be remembered. He lived his life by Jesus’ example and his faith spoke through his actions. Larry’s straightforward, honest, hard-working approach to life was appreciated by all. He will be greatly missed. "Catch you on the flip-flop". Viewing will be Friday, May 18 at 7:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach. The funeral service will be on Saturday, May 19 at 11:00 a.m. at Blumenort EMC Church, with interment at the church cemetery.
