I was sad to hear of the passing of Lawrence. We first met at Doug Norman’s insurance office many years ago and remained friends over the years. Whether it was in the superstore parking lot or at a store downtown, we always stopped to have a chat. He is now at peace.

Dear Wendy, Stephen, Wanda, Brian, Laurie-Anne, Casey and familes:
We are so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He was truly a wonderful person. Always up for a chat and a chuckle. I will never forget, on August 30, 2001, he was the first one that called our family to extend condolences of my Dad’s passing. Many times I chatted to him after that, and he always reminded me of my Dad in such a wonderful way. Lawrence was a true gentleman. I know it is so difficult, but time will in some way lessen the pain, and we are left with our wonderful memories of those that have touched our lives in so many ways. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sterling, Marilyn, Jason and the Anthony Family,
We extend our profound sympathies to your entire family on the passing of your father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Please know that you are in our thoughts and in your prayers at this very difficult time. May he rest in peace and my you find comfort in the memories you will hold close to your hearts.
