It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Larry Newbold, who left us peacefully on September 28th, 2025.
Born on January 10, 1948, in Weston Ontario, Larry made and maintained many friendships from a young age. He believed “you are who you walk with” which illustrates the many incredible friends that he has to this very day.
He was a devoted husband, dad, grandfather, always placing his family at the center of his world. His warmth, sense of humor, and steady guidance will be remembered and cherished by those whose lives he shaped.
Larry had a lifelong passion for sports, leading to many personal and professional achievements. He grew up playing hockey, later to become an avid golfer travelling the world playing the game he so loved. A fanatic of the Yankees, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Blackhawks, Larry cheered with passion for his teams.
He will be deeply missed by his wife Jo-Ann, daughter A.J., son-in-law Greg and grandson Owen, as well as extended family and many dear friends.
A Celebration of Larry’s Life will be held on Saturday October 18th, 2025, at The Nottawasaga Inn Resort and Conference Centre (Starlight Lounge) located at 6015 ON-89, Alliston, ON from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in his honor to Matthews House Hospice.
Though he has departed this world, Larry’s love and spirit will remain with us always.

Posted on: Saturday, October 4, 2025Larry was always a gentleman and supportive to friends of the Newbold family. I remember the times of Wall St. Weston to Burnaby BC in the 70’s with his brother Glen. Always a smiling face and welcome company and so lucky to have been associated with as a friend. You will be dearly missed by all. He did it his way.

Posted on: Friday, October 10, 2025Larry’s passing was such a shock for Margaret and I. My memories of our friend go back some 60+ years and all the sports, get togethers we enjoyed together. Trips to Myrtle Beach, Florida and a great number of hockey tournaments. Larry was one of the kindest considerate man and a pleasure to call him our friend. Heartfelt condolences to Jo-Ann and family.

My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Larry was truly a man’s man — but also very much a woman’s man. I was fortunate to get to know him well, and we shared many wonderful conversations about life. We giggled and laughed often, and I’ll never forget one golf getaway when he surprised me by singing Johnny Cash songs — he knew every lyric! It was such a memorable time.
We’ve lost a great man, but I know he’s now at peace, watching over all those he loved. 🥰
R.I.P. Larry — until we meet again.
With love,
Faye & Bob
