John Lawlor
March 09, 1936 – March 25, 2019
Passed peacefully away at the Health Sciences Centre, in the presence of his loving family, John Patrick Lawlor, aged 83 years.
Predeceased by his parents, Gus and Marion (Lake) Lawlor; brother, Gus and sisters Marie Gurrieri and Joan Kavanagh; parents-in-law, Bill and Mildred Hansford; brothers-in-law, Harry Hansford and Don Hansford. Also predeceased by best buddy, Bill Kennedy, who always lovingly referred to John as “the ol’ fella”.
Left to mourn his loving wife, Louise (Hansford); daughters Michele Lawlor and Kim Woodman (husband Rick) and grandchildren, Staci and Ian Woodman. Also left, brothers Bill (Dorothy) and Joe; brother-in-law, Roger Hansford (Angela), sister-in-law, Ruth Noseworthy (always his dancing partner to the waltz, “I Wish I Was 18 Again”); and their families. Also left to mourn, very special friends, the Kennedys of Outer Cove – his second family, whom he loved dearly. Many round table discussions were held on Sunday mornings over a game of crib or a mug up in the woods. Even though he was a “townie”, John dearly loved Logy Bay, Middle Cove and Outer Cove.
A sincere thank you to the staff of the Emergency Department and 4SA of the Health Sciences Centre for their exceptional care over the last few days. Thank you to his niece, Patricia, for her visits and for bringing “Nanny Lawlor’s” Date Crumbles. Thank you, also, to Fr.
