He was generous with his time and resources and always ready to help when he could. He had a keen sense of humor and was fun to be around, especially when he told stories about his life. He found humor in the smallest things and always asserted his opinion. Once you met Laurie, you would never forget him! As they say, "They threw the mold away when they made him"! Laurie will always be in our memories.
