Sylvester Knows His Gun says
So very sad to hear of my buddy Lawrence’s passing. I worked with Lawrence at Northern Cheyenne Housing Authority in 1990, 1991 & 1992. I remember him as always being pleasant and in a good mood. Over the past few years, I seemed to mostly run into Lawrence at the Hardin Love’s station from time to time. He was still friendly whenever I’d meet him, and we’d probably even tease one another.
One thing that came to my mind when I read about Lawrence, was that, during one of our visits, he asked me to record some Gospel songs for him to learn. However, I didn’t get around to doing it for him, and regret not doing so.
I pray for his loved ones during this time.
Sue Parker says
