Lawrence was a lifelong friend of ours & a great neighbor. He was a mischievous kid & liked to give us “grief” when we walked home from Baldwin school together. He & his family were the best! We shall always cherish these memories. Love & peace to his sweet family Norma Harrelson & Wilma Forbis
So sorry for your loss. I worked with Bunny from time to time at Ozarks. He was such a good fella, and always a hoot to be around!

Condolences for the family of a good man. I worked with Bunny at Ozarks Electric and enjoyed knowing him. He showed us some great woodworking he did, and we got to showcase it in our office for everyone to enjoy. He was a great fellow employee.
