Larry Sagar

Beloved husband of the late Sheila, dearly loved Dad of Maria, dear father in law of Pete, dear stepdad of Paul and Gill, dear brother of the late Anne, dear God father of Adam and Ben and dear friend of Carol and Ian.

Born in Haslingden, Larry attended Stonefold primary school and later Haslingden secondary modern.

Larry first started work with the Co-Op as a shop assistant in their Haslingden store, moving on to become a manager in the Helmshore store.

Larry carried out his national service in the RAF and stayed an extra year gaining promotion in the ranks.  After returning from national service Larry returned to the Co-Op for a brief time before joining Hollands pies where apart from driving for the company he became a shop steward, and was later promoted to sales manager.  Larry retired from Hollands pies after over 25 years service and during his retirement he carried out delivery work with Interlink and Baxenden pharmacy.

Larry played football in his youth but also enjoyed cricket and in  one season played at Haslingden cricket club.  He also liked to play golf and through Holland s pies he visited St Andrews and Gleneagles.

In later life he enjoyed watching football at Burnley football club and Accrington Stanley, where he was a season ticket holder.

Larry and Sheila loved their holidays especially cruises, sailing over 20 times, mainly in the Mediterranean but also in the Caribbean.  He had vast general knowledge and even won a cruise whilst travelling on a ship and joining in on a quiz night.

Larry will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all who knew him.

So sorry to hear the sad news. I worked with Larry at Hollands about 35 years ago and I have very fond memories of him helping me as I started out in my career. Funny, kind, mischievous and a thoroughly nice man.
