AKA Sunny and Ziggy

July 11, 1935 – July 30, 2026

Sunny was born in Winnipeg at the St. Josephs Hospital on July 11, 1935. He passed away on July 30, 2026 at the age of 91 years.

He leaves to mourn his wife Doreen of 57 years, his daughter Lorena (Rich), son Larry (Dallas), grandchildren Sahara (Frean) and Jared, family, extended family and many friends.

He was predeceased by his parents Saul and Marion, his son Mark, his siblings Faye, Ron and Ken. His in-laws Arthur and Ivy, Sandy, June, Gordon, Clarence, Cecil, Bob, Joe, Lloyd, Rocky, Allison. Niece Tracy and nephews Nelson, Wayne and Ronan.

His first job was with Princess Auto, then he worked at Cohan Fur company. His next job was with CNR at the shops and the Fort Garry Hotel. He retired in 1990.

In his late teens he met long time friends Jerry and Stan. They roomed together and have been good friends since.

Sunny enjoyed camping with his family. Many years were spent at Selkirk Park where he made life long friends and received the nickname MR CJOB. He had a way of having people telling him anything. His favorite activity was driving his 1957 Olds. He was a member of Manitoba Classic Antique Car Club for many years. He enjoyed planning road trips and other events for the club.

After his retirement, he moved out to Onanole, MB., with his wife Doreen. The love of road trips and driving the Olds never left him. It wasn’t long before he was driving out to the west coast. There he visited many friends and family.

He was known by few names. Larry, Ziggy and most popular Sunny. However you knew him, he will be missed.

Cremation has taken place and a private interment will take place at a later date.

July 27, 1949 – January 20, 2026

Larry Swain was 76 years old when he passed away on January 20th, 2026.

Known for his kindness and quick sense of humour, he never hesitated to help anyone in need. Whether it was lending a hand, sharing a laugh, or simply showing up when it mattered, he made life a little easier for those around him.

Larry was a devoted husband and father. He had a special love for dogs and was rarely without treats in his pocket, always ready to spoil any four-legged friend he met. It will be strange not seeing his work van driving through town anymore, a familiar sight that brought comfort to many. Larry’s presence will be deeply missed, but his kindness will not be forgotten.

Family and friends are warmly invited to attend a graveside service celebrating the life of Larry on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., at Old St. Andrews on the Red Anglican churchyard cemetery located at 3 St. Andrews Road, St. Andrews, MB.

A reception will immediately follow at the Little Britain Church Hall, 5879 Main Street.

At the age of 67, Larry passed away at the Selkirk Regional Health Centre with his daughter by his side, after a short and courageous battle with cancer.

He was predeceased by his parents, Pat & Elmer Meger and sisters Lori and Christine.

Larry will be remembered by his daughter Sabrina (Dustin), his grand-daughters Aaliyah and Niylah, sister Stacey (Gord) Berry, many nieces and nephews and his grand dog Charlie.

Larry was employed at Gerdau for 32 years and took an early retirement to enjoy golfing and hunting and purchased a motorcycle to ride the roads. His greatest joy was being with his daughter and grand-daughters who will miss Papa Larry.

Sabrina would like to thank the staff at the Selkirk Regional Health Center for the care given to her dad as well as the staff at Interlake Cremation & Memorial Services.

Unexpectedly, Larry passed away on November 8, 2025 at the age of 77 years.

Larry was a very talented professional musician, over a 50 plus year career, travelling all over playing many genres of music.

His passion continued after retirement, where he participated in entertaining residents of senior’s homes in Selkirk & Gimli with Otters Croft & Jammers as well as other events.

He walked dogs in Winnipeg & Gimli, where over the years became attached to 3. Maggie his favorite, was certainly his best walking buddy. He also enjoyed sitting on the deck of their Whytewold home waving or chatting with the occasional passerby.

He was predeceased by parents Anna & Lawrence Hackie.

Larry will be lovingly remembered by his wife Ellie, his extended family of brother & sister-in-law’s – Ed Tyslau (Janet), Ron Tyslau, Carol Lashmar (Guy), Darren Tyslau (Esmer), Richard Tyslau (Cheryl), many nieces and nephews as well as close longtime friends.

A special thank you to the Paramedics who attended Larry.
