Lawrence was such a kind and compassionate soul and was always a joy to be near him. I have very fond memories of being with him on the farm, on occasional tree jobs, boating on lake Detroit, and family visits with him and Eileen at his home and at ours. I can only imagine the joy he is presently experiencing in the presence of our Savior, Jesus.
