Lawrence is survived by his wife of nearly 48 years Bonnie (McTavish), his son Ian and his grandchildren Kianas, Kaleigha, Kaelen, Landon and great-grandson Eric Jr. who always brought a smile to Papa’s face. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law Gordon and Heather Russell; his Cape Breton family sister-in-law Carolyn Morrison, his brother and his wife Dave and Liz Morrison and their family.
Lawrence was predeceased by his daughter Courtenay (2020); parents Neil and Rene Morrison; his brother Neil Morrison; his in-laws Rae and Pearl McTavish.
In keeping with Lawrence’s wishes there will be no funeral service.
Lawrence asked that his son and grandchildren remember him with love and laughter.

Worked with Larry for about 3-4 months in the south end of Regina. He taught me how to talk to the normal people of this city. We had a lot of fun! RIP Larry. My deepest condolences to his family.
