Lawrence “Larry” Banman

1941-2015

Lawrence “Larry”  Banman

After a long and courageous journey with ALS, our dear husband and father Larry Banman, 73, passed away peacefully at home in Sherbrooke on June 2, 2015 – just as Compass was wrapping up. Although we already miss him, with his dry sense of humour and see-it-through determined nature, it was God's great gift to take him home.

Larry was born on October 20, 1941 in rural Saskatchewan to the late Peter and Mary (Fehr) Banman, the eldest son of 11 children in a close-knit and loving prairie farm family.

A 21-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces – a career that took him and his young family to PEI in 1974 – he would go on to raise foxes, work as an AI technician and indulge his life-long love of horses with the founding of Venture Stables in Freetown.

Larry leaves to mourn Margaret, his wife of 49 years, and his two sons Peter (Leonie) and Alan (Mary),  of whom he was so proud. He was also proud papa to Emma, Lucas, Nathan and Sophia, who remember him in their own special ways.

He is survived by his siblings Julia (Les) Wall, Gladys (Andy) Banilevic, Carol (Merv) Ireland, Bob (Chris) Banman, Betsy (Grant) Preston, Wendy (Harvey) Hildahl, Brian (Sharon) Banman, Cheryl (Ken) Zurowski, Russell Banman and Bev (Barry) Rowley.

Cremation is taking place and arrangements have been entrusted to the Davison Funeral Home in Kensington where friends and family are invited to a celebration of Larry's life to be held Friday, June 5 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory can be made to the wonderful people of the ALS Society of PEI or the Palliative Home Care Program.
