CAREY, Lawrence (Lawrency) Weldon

With heavy hearts, we sadly announce Lawrence (Lawrency) passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Thunder Bay, Ontario on July 16, 2017 at the age of 75.

He really enjoyed spending time with his family during those trips. He loved a good bingo game and faithfully made phone calls to all of his family and friends on every single holiday. Those short but sweet calls will be greatly missed by each of us.
