Larry Calvin Coleman
4 February, 1956 – 24 October, 2020
Larry Calvin Coleman at the Ottawa Civic hospital surrounded by his loving family on October 24th, 2020 at the age of 64 years after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He leaves behind his loving wife of 42 years Estelle (nee Marcil). Devoted dad to Ryan Coleman and Kristen Beaulac (Patrick). Doting Grampa to Rya, Koen and Wes Beaulac. Cherished brother of Cheryl Besaw (Alan) and Barb Sauve (Steven). Loving Uncle to Tara Cordes, Melissa and Matthew Sauve, Michael, Sarah and Jessica Besaw, Lisa Jones and Sara Kowal. Predeceased by his parents Bill and Vivian Coleman and brother Billy. Larry grew up in Cornwall and attended General Vanier High School. He worked for many years at Domtar. Following the Mill Closure he worked as a steam Engineer in the Ottawa PSWG plant until retirement this April. He will be remembered as a kind and gentle soul with an unshakeable positive outlook on life, even throughout his journey with cancer. A lifelong Toronto Maple Leafs fan and loved all things hockey. Larry always made time to connect with those around him and was always quick to lend a hand or an ear to listen. His sense of humour and generosity were second to none. He prided himself on his lawn and loved to spend time outside working on the flower beds. Larry’s greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially playing with his beloved grandchildren.
