OMG, I am in shock to see my friend Nookie, as we called him back in the day. I am from Providence, RI, now living in Florida. He spent many days in our home as a young man. He and my brother were friends. I had no idea where he was. I just saw a picture of and some friends from back in the days with my nephew.
May he rest in peace. To his family, I send my sincere sympathy. Lawernce was a gem of a person. I adored him and so miss the fact that many of our friends have gone on, hence I rarely get info of friend from back in the day that have passed away. ([email protected] if anyone want to contact me.)
