My deepest sympathy to the Lawrence family. Dr. Lawrence was my physician from 1969 until the end of his practice. His expertise and skill, his gentle manner and his generosity of time with his patients should serve as a model for the profession. He was an extraordinary person, and I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
