Raymond Merrill LAWRENCE

nancy, thanks for the kind works about my father. my email is [email protected] would love hear your story about my father.

I was your student, Mr Lawrence. In the mid 1960s. You taught me to drive a gutless `55 Chevy with a clutch. I wrote a story about you. I wish I could send it to your family. I will never forget you. Thank you.

He was a unique, lovable person and is missed.

My condolences to the Lawrence family. Ray and Phyllis were very kind to me when I met them as a total stranger and Vietnam vet in the early 1970s. I will always be grateful to them and remember them in prayers.

Ray and Phyllis were very kind to me when I needed just that. I will always remember them in my prayers.

Farewell to a kind and decent man. Yes, I remember you well.

I am very sad to hear this. I knew Ray for many years and always enjoyed chatting with him. My condolences to Mark and Ray's entire family. He will surely be missed.
