Larry Lachine

Lawrence “Larry” Lachine of Ridgetown died suddenly at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance on January 28, 2025.  He was 63 years old.  He was one of fourteen siblings born to the late Donald & Loretta (Antaya) Lachine and is survived by Bob & Jane Antaya, Carol & Wayne Parker, Edward Lachine, Evelyn Nott, Sandra Rumble, Randy Lachine & Tracy Faulkner, Wendy Lachine & Linda Dunn, Daniel & Alicia Lachine, Cameron & Bernadette Lachine and Sandra Lachine.  He was predeceased by Donald Lachine, Beverly Lachine, Dianne & John Payne, Gary Nott, Robert Rumble, Janet VandeHogan and Leonard Lachine.

Larry was a 23 year employee of Trak Tool in Ridgetown and previous to that he was an iron worker.  His motto and favourite saying in life was “get er done”, and he did just that.  He was the go-to uncle who had the ability to fix anything.  He enjoyed many years of having a trailer at Wildwood and completing series of collectible items.  Most of all, he enjoyed his family.

Many thanks go out to the Chatham Kent Ambulance Paramedics and CKPS in Erieau who tried so hard to save our brother, as well special thanks to Dr. C. Prins for her care. Your efforts did not go unnoticed.  And to Larry’s brother and sister who served Larry so well, thank you.

Cremation has taken place.  A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring when Larry will be laid to rest with his parents in Evergreen Cemetery.
