On behalf of my mom , my brother and I , we wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the beautiful way of honoring my Dad. I’m so sad that I couldn't make it, but I know my mom & brother had a blast!!! Some words from my mom's Facebook tribute to the day:
"Yesterday I was reminded how blessed I was to be a part of Larry "Hezethebest" LaTour's life. He left a large footprint in all of our hearts and life. This past weekend was "Travers Weekend" which anyone who is enthusiastic & loves Thoroughbred Horse Racing as he did knows this weekend was blacked out from attending anything else. Larry's Picks was well known and he developed great friendships from Up in Class Horse Racing Forum which these friendships have endured & been bestowed to my family & me. In honour of my beloved husband, this group of friends who spent many Travers Days together put together a Celebration of Life in his honour. They sponsored the 4th race in his name on Sunday. They had t-shirts with Larry's photo on the front. We were honored to watch the race from the winner circle which I was presented with a plaque and a group photo was taken. Many thanks to all of you who arranged this day and special thanks to Bev Hendry for the race. I love you all and look forward to seeing you next year. Larry I know was touched & was with us in spirit!"
