I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Lawrence's passing away. He was a upright man with a good standing in the community. I had a great deal of respect for Mr. Lawrence, who was not afraid to lend a hand with my old car or to offer a word of advice to a teenager, and would not steer you wrong. You will be missed sir. With all respect. Tim Parsons
