Lawrence always loved helping people, and dedicated his personal time often to feeding the homeless. He also volunteered at various food banks and homeless shelters. Lawrence always wanted to make sure that everyone felt loved. He had a heart of gold and was a great and loving man, a pure angel. Lawrence could light up a room when he entered. His spirit was so calm and gentle making it easy for people to gravitate to him. Lawrence loved to go deep-sea fishing with his buddies.

Lawrence attended Emerson Unitarian Universalist Congregation and sang in the choir. Lawrence was the sole-proprietor of Brady's Moving Service and was employed at Thomas Concrete where he was recently promoted to Regional Manager. He was a hard worker and took pride in all he put his hands to do.
