Not sure what to say?

Nancy & Vic Mitchell, former neighbors, friends, carpool Ravensworth Park Annandale, VA, send their love & respect to the Lawrence family.

Having the opportunity to work for Mitchell P. Lawrence, Jr. (and later for his son, Mitchell P. Lawrence III), one could not have had a better experience working for an intelligent, compassionate, and gentle executive. No drama, no histrionics, and no need to do anything other than lead by example, experience and wit.

A true friend, a true gentleman, and an outstanding leader in the Office of Security

Mitch was a real gentleman. That is what I will always remember.

Mitch was a perfectionist in everything that he did. He consistently showed strong moral and ethical principles in his work and his dealings with people. He was the role model that we all admired and respected.

Mr. Lawrence was the consummate leader, gentleman and professional. We all trusted and respected him. He was the perfect role model.

I worked with Mitch over the years, had many conversations with him, and consider him one of the finest officers ever to serve OS. A man of high moral standards and integrity beyond reproach. And a VMI grad. My pleasure to have known him and call him a friend. Chick Urick
