Lawrence (Larry) Shulman Vancouver, Canada – Larry Shulman died on November 3rd, 2026, at the University of British Columbia Hospital in Vancouver while recovering from a brief illness. He was 89 years (or, as he would say – “actually 90” – always anticipating the next step).Larry was born on May 17, 1937, in Brooklyn, New York, the third of five children. He was predeceased by his parents, Frieda Geller Shulman and William Shulman, and by his older sister Melva and younger brother Edward.Larry was nurtured and shaped by his early years in Brooklyn. Those loving and unique Brooklyn characteristics remained part of his personality and his life. Among other neighborhood skills, “ranking” (friendly verbal put-downs) was one he loved to share with his sons and grandson. He grew up during the era of the Brooklyn Dodgers with Saturday MLB games at Ebbets Field.
