We miss you so much dear Larry. Your sense of humour was second to none and our shared love of music made our times together so very special. Share a drink with awesome Les when you catch up. After all, it will be five o´clock x somewhere

The New Plymouth Old Boys' cricket club wish to acknowledge the passing of Larry Stewart, a supporter of the club. Club members remember his regular appearances on the sideline whenever he was out for a walk, always supporting his son Travis and always keen for a chat with whoever was there. Larry was friendly towards everyone. Our condolences to Travis, Larry's wife Kaylene and the family.

Fond memories of times with Larry at the Pukekura Park Tennis Club, particularly with Business House and Thursday after work tennis. The Thursday gang played doubles thought the whole year, weather permitting, resulting with play in some marginal conditions including with the Pukekura Doctor (cross wind) present. A master of the slice and spin plus on occasions a top entertaining master of ceremonies Larry was a most colourful and popular club member. Thanks for those times Larry. Condolences to Kaylene and family.

Kaylene and family,
Oh what memories.
NZSCo, New Plymouth where within a few days of each other Larry & I began our lives in the shipping industry. Long games of euchre during the slack season, paddle tennis on the roof, our lunch room Friday night club.
Inter house tennis.
You newlyweds living in our Carrington Street flat while your house was being built. Meantime we moved to Wellington so never lived there.
Weekends back in New Plymouth when Larry let me know Saturday morning wharf work was available.
Our numerous visits back to New Plymouth over the years spending many happy times with you both. How time flies by, in 2016 during our last visit to New Plymouth Larry joined us in a delightful walk along the coastal walkway.
And your visits with us in New Jersey & Hamburg.
Thinking of you.

Larry was a great supporter of New Plymouth Old Boys' Rugby Club. He loved the game as a player and later as a passionate follower of the clubs fortunes year in and year out, as well as being an active supporter.

The club sends its condolences to the family and friends at this sad time.

Larry was a wonderful Godfather and a man whose humour would light up every room. He always had a new joke or tease and was an important figure for me growing up. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Condolences to Kaylene and the family.
With Love,
Byron

We extend our sincere condolences to you Kaylene, Daimon, Travis and Karina on the passing of Larry.
We met Larry through his love of tennis and Pukekura Tennis Club. His tricky slices, topspin and on-court wit were a foil for many of his opponents.
Larry also bestowed membership of Nomads Wine Club upon Denis - always appreciated to this day!
We loved Larry´s friendship and quirky sense of humour.
A man who touched our lives in the nicest of ways - RIP Larry
