Larry Emdur's Emotional Tribute to His Late Father
Gold Logie winner and beloved Australian TV host Larry Emdur has once again touched hearts with a deeply personal tribute to his late father, Dave. On what would have been his dad’s 90th birthday, Larry took to Instagram to share a nostalgic and poignant message, reflecting on the powerful passage of time and the profound impact his father had on his life.
Accompanying his heartfelt words was a throwback photo—one that fans may have seen before but held extra significance on this day. The image captured a beautiful family moment: Larry, then 30, cradling his newborn son Jye, while his father, Dave, proudly stood beside them. In his post, Larry highlighted an incredible numerical alignment that made the memory even more special. "When this photo was taken, Dad was 60, I was 30, and Jye was just a few days old—zero. Today, Jye is 30, I’m 60, and Dad would’ve been 90. I love that these numbers align so perfectly on this particular day," he wrote. "Love ya, Davo. Miss you, mate."

But beyond reminiscing, Larry used this moment to share an important message—a plea that was both emotional and urgent. He urged his followers to quit smoking, strongly implying that his father’s passing was due to a smoking-related illness. "If you smoke, please try and quit. Smoking will ruin your life, and then it will probably kill you. I know it’s hard, but please try. If not for yourself, then for the people who love you," he wrote, even sharing the Quitline number (137848) to encourage those struggling to seek help.
The post was met with an outpouring of love and support. Fans and colleagues flooded the comments with messages of encouragement, empathy, and shared memories of Dave Emdur. Many resonated with Larry’s words, with one follower writing, "Any man who can express his feelings like you do is a GOOD MAN. God bless your dear dad, Larry." Another remembered Dave fondly, recalling times spent together at local markets, emphasizing his humor and warmth.
This isn’t the first time Larry has used his platform to advocate for smoking cessation in honor of his father. In 2021, on the anniversary of Dave’s passing, he posted a moving tribute, hoping to convince even one person to give up cigarettes. His consistent advocacy reflects not just his personal grief but also his deep desire to prevent other families from experiencing the same pain.
Larry Emdur has long been known for his warmth, humor, and genuine connection with audiences, but moments like these remind everyone of his deep heart and unwavering love for family. Through his words, he not only honors his father’s legacy but also offers a heartfelt warning—a reminder that love, loss, and time are all deeply intertwined.
