Lawrence, I first met you when I married your nephew. We visited you in Florida and I felt so welcomed. You became a new family for me. I will always remember other times and visits and how you took time in your little workshop to make a dolls chest for me. I will always treasure that chest and remember you in that workshop of yours everytime I look at it. Thanks for those memories. I am happy that you are now with the Lord our God. Love, Barbara

Lawrence, You were my uncle, brother and friend. I will always remember the days at the Pike Drive-In and how you loved the pop corn. The times we spent together when you stayed with us at the Berlin Turnpike in Connecticut and helped with the ponies. I am happy that you chose me to be your private chauffer and remember the fun we had. I will never forget you. Love, your nephew Pit.
