September 14, 1958 – April 4, 2026

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.

As per Larry’s wishes, cremation has taken place and interment will take place at a later date.

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.

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.

A memorial service for family and friends will be announced at a later date.

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.

A private family celebration will be planned.

Till we meet again, Forever Yours Ellie
