I was shocked and saddened to hear of Lawrence's passing. I first met Lawrence when he was visiting his Uncle Dino who was my next door neighbour; we were about 7 years oId. I too, like Wayne Sochasky, haven't seen Lawrence in years (since I moved to Dunnville in 1968) but we spent a lot of hours together playing street hockey, football and baseball along with Teddy Smith, Wayne, and little brother Peter. I also remember playing hockey on the ice rink that his dad made in his backyard. He was a great athlete. I remember that as a kid he was interviewed on CHML radio when he told them that his favourite baseball player was Yogi Berra because, "he is fat like my dad"! I have fond and fun memories of Lawrence and my sincere sympathy is with mom and dad, and with Tina and Peter.
