Living down the road from "Uncle Lawrence" (as we called him on Linden St.), I remember how much I loved the smell of his pipe and how the neighborhood kids were always welcome to come over to his house and swing on the porch swing. My personal favorite memory is that he gave me a silver dollar when I lost my front tooth (which was a huge deal to a 7-yr old). He will be missed, but never forgotten.
Larry was a fantastic neighbor, while living on Linden. Was always looking to help his neighbors any way he could. Personally remembering the event of wanting a 60 foot oak taken down near the house ... Larry showed up with his GTE pole climbing equipment almost immediately and made short work of the limbs with a chainsaw. He was a gift to all of us, and missed when moving to Alpena.
To the McRoberts family from the Wright family in Clio/Flushing Mi.we would like to extend our thoughts and prayers for the passing of Uncle Lawrence. It has been many years since I personally saw Uncle Lawrence but I do hold special memories of earlier years at Grandma and Grampa Wrights house in Muskegon! I do know if dad was doing better he would be there with the family but his health would not permit it...so we are letting you know we are thinking of you!
