oldslowsledder Posted June 30, 2024 Share Posted June 30, 2024 Suddenly and Sadly our neighbor and friend Paul Penfold passed away Friday morning. Many of you who sledded in the Parry Sound/Pointe au Baril area will remember him as the owner of Larry's Tavern, a very popular sledding destination back in the days we had winters. After the Tavern was bought out by the Ministry and demolished in anticipation of the new highway Paul continued on heavily involved in the North East Georgian bay Snowmobile Club, running the groomer for decades until his wonky knees couldn't operated it any more. A gruff exterior he was a softy at heart, and will be sadly missed. RIP Paul, and thank you for taking such good care of our trails over the years 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
