Lawrence CARROZZA

(1934-2022)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Dad, Lawrence (Lawrie) on September 8, 2022. Lawrie grew up in East York, the cherished son of Lena and Giovanni (John). Lawrie was the devoted husband to the late Dawn (Heidman) for 63 years of marriage. Proud Dad of Cheryl and Tom. Wonderful Grandpa to Melissa and Annette and Great-Grandpa to August and Iverson. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Jim (Terry), Mimi (Gord), Laura (Steve, both deceased) and Tony (Irene - predeceased). Adored Uncle of many nieces and nephews. Lawrence worked for Lafarge Canada, working his way to a managerial position, demonstrating excellent leadership and compassion to all that crossed his path. He was an active member in Wesley United Church (Buckhorn, Ontario) and gave freely of his time to help others. Lawrie loved to design and build homes and furniture, spend time with his dog, garden and was a talented clarinet player in the New Horizon Band (Peterborough, Ontario). The family would especially like to thank Idlewyld Nursing Home for their exceptional compassion and care of our Dad over the past four years. Dad's award-winning smile and sense of humour will greatly be missed by his family and friends. We will celebrate Lawrie's life with a graveside service at White Chapel Memorial Gardens, 1895 Main St. West, Hamilton on Thursday, September 15, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to Dodsworth and Brown Funeral Home, Ancaster Chapel, 378 Wilson Street East, Ancaster, L9G 2C2. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations to be made to The Alzheimer's Society or Humane Society.
