On March 28th 2026, While gentle snowflakes fell from the night sky Larry Peter Duquette took his final breath and is finally at rest. He fought hard but his body became too tired to carry on and he was granted his golden wings. He is flying high with the angels and we know he will be watching and protecting us from above. He will be lovingly remembered and forever missed by his wife Debbie, his daughters Kristinea Collins and Elizabeth Duquette and his two precious grandsons Parker and Keaton Collins. He is predeceased by his parents Ambrose and Norma Duquette, brother Remi Duquette, sister Marie Drummond.and Debbie’s parents Ray and Shirley Setterington. He is survived by his brother-in-law David Drummond, brother and sisters-in-law Dave and Marguerite Setterington, and Sharon and Larry Harbidge as well as several nieces and nephews. He leaves behind life long friends as well as newly created ones in the wonderful community “The Ridge” in West Lorne that has been home for the past 8 months. He was so proud to be part of the Four Counties Hospital family for 33 years as a medical Laboratory Technologist and Department Manager. We would like to thank his many Doctors and their staff, Vital Aire, Glencoe Guardian Pharmacy, Ontario Health at Home, Care Partners staff and especially the PCOT team whose dedication and compassion was unwavering. As per Larry’s wishes cremation has taken place and burial will take place at a later date. Visitation will be held at the Van Heck Funeral Home 172 Symes Street, Glencoe, Ontario on Saturday, April 4th from 11 a.m. to 12 noon with the funeral service immediately following. Our dear friend Reverend Deb Dolbear-Van Bilsen will be officiating. Donations can be made to the Southwest Middlesex Animal Shelter or Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.
