Larry Bertram Vassa

With deep sadness we announce the passing of Larry Bertram Vassa on May 10th, 2025 at the age of 75 years. He was surrounded by loved ones and will leave a large hole in our hearts.

He will be deeply missed by his wife of 53 years Elizabeth, children Paula Vassa (Jon Mitchler) Laura Weselowski (Mark), Lisa Victor (Matt), grandchildren Kyan & Ava Weselowski and Ella & Neely Victor.

Born the only child to Steve and Helen Vassa in Gladstone, Manitoba on January 5th, 1950; he grew up on and continued to raise his family on the family farm. The legacy of Whispering Pine Farm will continue in his honor through Liz and his three girls.

Larry always joked, he was outstanding in his own field. He had a passion for farming, tinkering with technology and inventing new ways to do things. There always seemed to be ideas constantly brewing in his mind. He loved to take tours around the farm on the ATV to see how things were growing from spring to fall and would love to stop and chat.

His biggest pride came taking his family camping through the Rockies enjoying the scenery and fishing in Northern Manitoba.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date this summer. A private gathering for family and close friends will take place at the Gladstone Cemetery.
