Gaynor, Larry W.
A committal service is to be held in St. Andrews, NB, Aug. 1, 2010 for the ashes of a Charlotte County man who, in a writing career lasting nearly half a century, penned a succession of scripts for a number of popular CBC television comedies, dramas and mysteries.
Larry W. Gaynor, a 1957 graduate of the former Vincent Massey High School, St. Andrews, was age 70. He died May 15, 2010 at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, ON, after suffering from emphysema for a long period of time.
His imaginative writings encompassed many genres, including those scripts for the nationally televised shows The Great Detective, Seeing Things and Street Legal. In a dual role, he also performed as an actor, appearing in character or cameo roles in many of these productions. “His programs were smart, funny, engrossing, as was his entire career,” said a May 22 obituary in The Globe and Mail.
Upon graduation from high school, Gaynor went on to attend College Militaire Royal de St. John and later the University of New Brunswick but left both without obtaining a degree. He then worked as a weekly newspaper advertising salesman before travelling to Europe and Spain to pursue a writer’s lifestyle. In experiencing the adventure he would later write about his further careers, including that of working as a circus midway performer boasting snake charming and fire-eating talents.
Larry William Jack Gaynor was the only child of Bill Gaynor and Rose Ethel Neary. The St. Andrews service, to be held at 2 p.m. following Sunday Mass, will take place at St. Andrew Roman Catholic Cemetery, Route 127 leading towards Saint John. Deacon Dan Bastarache will be officiating. Friends and school classmates, particularly those returning to St. Andrews to attend the July 30-Aug. 1 school class reunion, are invited to attend.
A wake-style memorial service for Larry, whose ancestors came to St. Andrews on an Irish immigrant ship in the 1850s, is also to be held Sept. 5 in Toronto. Donations, in his name, to the Supporting Cast of Toronto’s Performing Arts Lodge would be appreciated.

McCULLEY, Ralph C.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Ralph C. McCulley on June 16, 2010 after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Dad died with the dignity in which he lived his life. We are very grateful for a peaceful passage.
He leaves to mourn his loving wife, Jo. They recently celebrated 65 years of marriage and shared an inseparable bond. He was a gentleman to the end and they enjoyed every moment together. He was a loving and nurturing father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by two daughters, Sharon and Al, and Linda and Frank, and two sons, Ralph and Agatha, and Joe and Carla. Also cherishing memories are five grandsons, Greg and Kath, Dan and Monica, David and Anna, Trevor and Dawn, and Michael and Rhonda, and two granddaughters, Amber and Jeff, and Kelsey and Justin. He was always happy to visit, hear stories or see pictures of his 14 great- grandchildren, Lindsay and Liam [David], Rebecca and Kyle [Trevor], Craig, Cullen, and Emma [Michael], Ben and Liam [Greg], Jaden and Ethan [Dan], Joseph [Amber], and Josiah and Victoria [Kelsey]. He is also survived by one sister Frances; one cousin, Barb, and several nieces and nephews.
Dad was predeceased by his parents, Gertrude and Leonard McCulley; one sister, Phyllis, and infant great-grandson, Abraham Frederick Swan.
Dad was born and raised in New Brunswick. He attended Rockland Drive United Baptist Church in McAdam. When he was transferred to St.
Stephen, he served on the Board of Trustees of Union Street United Baptist Church in St Stephen. He took great pride in his occupation as superintendent of Canada Customs in St. Andrews. He was always conscientious and a gentleman. He was also a member of the school board in McAdam.
Dad and Mom moved to Winnipeg in 1982. In his retirement he became a model train enthusiast, building elaborate and complicated set-ups which we all enjoyed seeing. We also have many happy memories of trips to Florida. Dad was a true Disney fan and enjoyed every opportunity to go there, or watch one of his many videos of a parade.
They even spent their 60th anniversary there, and were made to feel like kids again.
Dad also took a very big interest in Sharon and Al’s farm, contributing to all aspects of farm living and becoming really proficient as a partner helping Al with all the different operations.
He enjoyed training German Shepherd dogs and puppies. He loved the dogs and they responded accordingly. He also loved combing the countryside finding old antique tractors with Al.
