Lawrence and Florence were good people filled with love and caring for all. I recall their weekly visits to the Louisville Care Center where Florence with her beautiful voice would lead the sing-a-longs while Lawrence would visit with the men. Lawrence was our son Steve's first baseball coach and he taught many lessons in addition to the rules of the game. May his soul rest in peace.
