Lawrence lived a simple, joyful life and will be remembered for the things that brought him peace and happiness. He enjoyed mowing grass, keeping his yard neat and beautiful. Often, he could be found multitasking in his favorite way—watching TV and reading at the same time. He loved sitting under a shade tree, feeding the birds, and savoring his favorite treat—Nutty Buddy bars
