Dear Darlene and family,
I’m sorry I didn’t get to know Lawrence, but I’ve appreciated the tributes, describing this wonderful, talented man. I do have a fond memory of the two of you dancing at the Legion.
Thank you, Darlene, for your warm friendship over the years.
With my deepest sympathy and prayers,
love, Judy Howarth

So sorry of hearing of Lawrence passing Darlene. We spent many hours discussing model steam engines and miniature trains. The exemption of our trains from the Amusement Ride Act was quite an accomplishment and enjoyed by many model engineering groups. We will miss him. God Bless.

So sorry to read of Larry’s passing. I worked with him at Alexander Henry High School for several years. Larry was good with students. He was soft spoken but firm when needed.
He was always ready to pitch in and help with any planned student activity. My sincere condolences to his family.

Darlene and family, my deepest condolences on the passing of Lawrence. He was always a great man to my Mom and Dad and to us as kids growing up. I always remember the trains and how much he enjoyed talking about them with me. Funny, I had to drive by your Queen Street house the other day and hoped things were well and now I read this. I’m sure he’s having some much needed laughs with Mairead and Philip as well now
Much love as always
Damian Nicholls and family
