Michael Frederick Lawrence

Mike was a hardworking entrepreneur with business ventures ranging from demolition to development, with an admirable balance between family, friends and business. Mike loved boating and spending time on the water. From his outrageous stories to his infectious laugh, he will be greatly missed.

Mike is survived by his loving wife, Laurie (Decoff); children Neil, Amy, Kristen and their mother, Dawn Mills; brothers, Greg, Kevin; sisters, Claudia, and Heather; six grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and other family and friends.
