In Memoriam: Conrad Lawrence (In Photos)

Conrad G. Lawrence - [Born: May 6, 1933 (Waldo, FL) - Died: January 26, 2010 (Osteen, FL)]
A Florida native, a Family Man, a Working Man, and an Army Veteran who served his country and saw the world in the process. From Germany to Korea to Colorado to Texas to Alaska and back home to Florida more than a few times over. Below are a few of my favorite photos of Conrad, family, and friends. More photos can be seen HERE, and you can also read some of my personal thoughts about my father-In-law’s life and character HERE.
