With great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather Lawrence (Larry) Hamelin at the age of 79. He was predeceased by his parents, 4 brothers, and 3 sisters. Larry is survived by his adoring wife, Marilyn, of 50 years and his beloved daughters Kim (Bill) Hest, children Cole, Riley, and Brody; Kerri Hawser, children Cameron and Lukus; Tammy (Mike) Paquette, children Allison and Jaime; Nicole (Ryan) Neuwirth, children Ben and Scotty. He is also survived by his close brother-in-law Jim (Pat) Schellenberg, Dennis (Jackie) Schellenberg, Wayne (Marilyn) Schellenberg, Arlene Klassen and Jean Hamelin, as well as many nieces, nephews and the wonderful friends in his life.

Because he had Christ in his heart it gave him great peace and his family great comfort. He is now safe in the arms of our heavenly Father. Until we meet again. We love you and miss you.
