The 53 year-old took to Instagram to mark 14 years since his dad Dave passed away and shared a photo of his father as a young man.

โ€Dear God, if youโ€™re in the lounge tonight please keep an eye out for my Dad.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™ll be sipping a Southern Comfort with a splash of Coke. Heโ€™ll be the friendliest and happiest guy in the room, keeping everyone entertained with his eternal sense of humour and charming everyone with those ever-smiling eyes and cheeky smile.โ€

Larry continued in his post about the dangers of smoking and how much his death has impacted the Edmur family.

โ€œPlease tell him we wish he never smoked, we miss him everyday and we wish that he was still here with us.

โ€œPlease tell him heโ€™s missing some incredible stuff with his grandkids and great grandchild. Oh and please tell him even though itโ€™s 14 years today we still love him and will foreverโ€.

According to the Australian Government, smoking is the largest preventable cause of death and disease in Australia with a tobacco-related death occuring about every 28 minutes in Australia.

In November, Larry had another family scare when his mother Faye was admitted to hospital.

โ€œThe queen of the Edmur family, my mum Faye is in hospital,โ€ Larry told Morning Show viewers alongside his co-host Kylie Gillies, โ€œShe had a little fall.โ€

โ€œShe texted me this morning and said, โ€˜Now Iโ€™m forced to watch your show.'โ€

He went on to jokingly say, โ€œMum I hope youโ€™re ok. I know you told the doctors you had a fall when coming out of the car but the reality is that itโ€™s from smacking me when I didnโ€™t clean up my room.โ€

But the Morning Show host also has reason to celebrate as he and wife Sylvie mark 24 years of marriage today.

โ€œThis morning Sylvie asked me why on earth she should stick around for another 24 years. I said coz Iโ€™ll be the funnest guy in the nursing homeโ€ฆsheโ€™s currently considering her optionsโ€ฆloveyaguts xxxxx,โ€ he shared.
