Quigg Lawrence

I last saw Quigg at the Christmas SPE lunch in Richmond this past December, regretfully not having seen him for about 25 years before then. He was the embodiment of a true SPE brother when we were both in the house during the 1956-57 session. We will all miss his clever emails and great artwork, and how he stayed in touch during the crisis about the closing of the house last fall. I was very sorry that I couldn't make it to his Celebration of Life.

I tried to attach a photo of him from our 1957 composite, but it didn't work. I would be glad to forward this photo to someone who knows how to include it in the Guest Book. I can easily copy similar photos of anyone who's in either the 1957 or 1959 composite, and I would be glad to email them individually to any brother or relative requesting one.

One of the nicest humans I have ever known. Alway had an encouraging word. He will be missed by many but never forgotten.

Dear Quigg,
Well, ole buddy, you pulled a fast one on me. I didn't know you were sick, let alone dying but there you are. After all you are 3 years older than I am and I'm not feeling so good myself. So at any rate, I'll leave you to your devices. I'm sure they have you busy in Heaven. Incidentally, have you run into Moe Haus up there? I know he'll be glad to see you. Moe loved you like all of your clients did and your staff members and your professional colleagues and at least of the female race. And finally, Quigg, I love you, too.

The memories are many, and I thank God for having allowed me to know and share a bit of time with Quigg.

So now, with the memories of those times shared, I bid farewell to my friend and pray for his safe passage.

Bon Voyage Mon Capitaine.

I would like to add this picture of my Dad since the other one makes him look too old ! If you know him well he would hate to look too old!

I am saddened to learn of the loss of Quigg. I knew him at the University of Virginia from 1955 to 1957, and played banjo in the Blue Ridge Band. After renewing our friendship by telephone about three years ago, we have kept in touch through e-mail with the most recent being this past December. I felt like I knew Quigg, Jr. through his Dad, a couple of telephone calls, and reading about him and his church in the Roanoke, Virginia newspaper. We will all miss Quigg, and send our sympathy to the family.

As a distant relative, I never had the opportunity to meet and enjoy Mr. Lawrence's presence.
However, my mother, Susan Farrell Seward Bowman of Claremont, Virginia thought a great deal of Quigg as they shared some childhood memories together.

He, undoubtedly, touched a number of people with his accomplishments and love of life. We wish the best for our distant family at this difficult time.

Quigg always impressed me as a truly gifted businessman and a very friendly
person. My first impression came when my sister baby sat at his home back in the 60s in the west end. I met Quigg again at Alpha Audio when I recorded there in the early 70s. He had a visionary quality and an eye for talent. Quigg had the right stuff. My condolences to the family.

It is with deep sadness and nostalgia that I recall what a delightful person Quigg was and will be in the hearts and fond memories of his friends. I knew Quigg well in high school and followed his career long after graduation. He was funny, quick-witted, and multi-talented. My prayers are with his family and many friends and acquaintances.

A FRIEND FOR FIFTY YEARS. I WILL MISS QUIGG,BUT HAVE A GREAT NUMBER OF THINGS TO REMEMBER HIM BY.

I remember Quigg well from TJ High School. We used to have a good time talking about Bluegrass. He was a great guy!
I know he is now in Heaven and smiling down at his family and friends here on Earth! I wish them well as they cope with the loss of Quigg!
