He was a kindhearted, loving man who devoted his life to his great big family, friends, and God.  He will be greatly missed.   Lawrence enjoyed golfing, bowling, and hunting.  He even accomplished a hole-in-one in his lifetime!  Lawrence enjoyed the game so much that he made his own set of golf clubs and several of his children received a set as well.  He also liked to drill out the holes in his bowling balls.

The family will receive friends in the gathering room of the church Friday, one hour prior to Mass. A luncheon will follow immediately after, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Beal City.    Memorial contributions may be made to the wishes of the family.  Envelopes will be available at the church or at Charles R.
