Captain Lawrence sailed the great lakes for over 40 years. He loved sports, especially hockey and was a ‘die-hard’ Leafs fan until they traded Frank Mahovlich. Lawrence enjoyed many rounds of golf over the years, playing with his sons, grandchildren, family and friends. In his retirement he opened and enjoyed operating Surridge’s Golf Club Repair and Skate Sharpening. He was a Branch 6 Legion member, where he loved to work in the kitchen with the ladies. He and Irene loved to travel, and he was always keen to find a casino to spend some time. Lawrence was very proud of his family and always enjoyed spending time with them.
