I am heartbroken to learn of Larry Goetz passing I do not enjoy writing this type of message because what can you say? There is isn’t much you can say during such a sad moment. When James called to let me know about Larry’s passing my reaction was, “Are you serious?” Larry was an inspiration who loves kids, respected his players, and loved his community. He was a true friend, who dedicated his entire life to baseball, especially in Komoka (his community). He was one of my heroes for his love and dedication to children and their development through baseball was something he did passionately. Sometimes, Larry would call me to talk about some rules or certain plays he had just watched on
television. I loved and respected Larry because he was so kind. I remember one day
I was umpiring at Labatt Park and the game was televised on Rogers Television. As an umpire, sometimes, you make calls that you may consider routines; I made a called at home plate that in fact I thought it was that. But at the end of the game, when I was driving home, Larry calls me. “I am so proud of you for the call you made. Of
course, he had to refresh my memory. He told me they replayed it several times. “I knew Dalbert made the right call,” he said. “I am proud of you.” Larry and I talked often on
the phone. Whenever I needed a good character letter I would call Larry and he would write it for me within minutes. The first one he wrote was for Baseball Ontario when I wanted to be a Level 3 Umpire. “I told them that you could call a game in Spanish,” he joked. When Larry was the assignor and Umpire-in-chief in Komoka, he would call and ask me if I wanted to come and do a 3-Umpire game. “Larry, the game has already started! You realize that I am in bed and in London.” He would say it doesn’t matter, just show up. “I have 2 young umps and don’t want the coach to intimidate them.” Larry would show up to mark the field before the teams arrived to the park. It didn’t matter if one of his players wasn’t performing at the level of the team his team was facing: Larry made his players feel
like super stars. “You are doing excellent.” “Good Job!” Larry dedicated his entire life to baseball. He was a role model, a dad, a brother, a coach, an umpire, a committee member, a volunteer. My dear friend, on behalf of James Deacon, and myself thank you for the contribution to your community, thank you for inviting me to be a volunteer of the same, thank you for supporting me whenever I needed your mentorship, and thank you being so
kind when you gave so much and expected little or nothing in return. I loved you like a brother. You will be missed!
#RIP Larry
