Ah you hab heart arfta ah you tek way de place from de man…ah dat run he dung!!!
Larry was truly a foundational figure in Antigua’s local business community. For over 44 years, he operated the Friars Hill Road Service Station under an agreement with the West Indies Oil Company (WIOC).He built a legendary reputation across Antigua and Barbuda for exceptional customer service and business excellence. Just could not find a nicer, gentler, kinder man than Larry. And beyond the pumps, Lion Larry served as a highly committed past President of the Lions Club. Truly a remarkable man, an exceptional human being was Lawrence Larry Gonsalves. We have had many excellent conversations. My condolences to his family and the many persons with whom he came in contact.
Deepest condolences 🙏
FYI”… Larry’s wife/ family was not upset about the gas station being taken over by WICO, Larry had Alzheimer and it started to be really difficult for his family to have him there … Larry was a stand up guy a decent human and his wife she was also so amazing.. I just love them .. Larry he was kind and funny, easy to get along with … God has truly showed me love through that man and his wife … Rest easy Larry ..”JOB WELL DONE””..
I had worked with them for about a year they both show love and caring sip Larry. My condolences to the family.
