September 26, 1957 - August 23, 2020 During our 31
years together, we loved to tell vacation stories of
how disaster followed us in our wake—an earthquake
in San Francisco, the Gulf War, Hurricane Katrina
after we left Florida, a tornado at a friend's
cottage, a hurricane while camping, and even the
eruption of Hawaii's Mount Kilauea that buried our
vacation paradise in lava. Our ridiculous good luck
ran out in August when you silently disappeared
under the water on a perfectly normal beautiful
summer day. We were west meets east; an introvert
and an ambivert; and we were both able to do what we
loved in our lives together. You thrived doing
design work as an electrical engineer (two patents!)
and it allowed me to stay home, raise our two sons,
and pursue my interests. It meant you never, ever
had to go shopping again or make another huge pot of
borscht or chili that you had to eat all week. You
were smart, liberal-minded, non-judgmental,
well-read, a wonderful father and life-partner; you
could fix and build stuff. We laughed and rarely
fought, hoping that time would resolve
disagreements. And it mostly did. You gave the most
important gift to our family - your time and
attention. Whether it was board games, hiking,
biking, discussing engineering, politics or weirdest
super power, you were here for us. We are so very,
very sad that we lost you so soon and so suddenly.
Cremation has taken place and, due to COVID, only
family and a few close friends will be planting a
memorial tree in a neighbourhood pollinator garden
on what would have been Lawrence's birthday. We will
wear our brightest clothing, eat some chocolate, and
send a big virtual hug to our family, friends and
neighbours who have shown us unwavering support and
love at this time.<br class="">
