Tim Gander wrote a sympathy message

“Mrs. Lawrence and family - Sorry to hear about the passing of Coach Lawrence. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember all the times we spent at the house watching the World Series, eating popcorn and drinking pop. I also remember the stories he told us during baseball practice. This is just an end to a chapter in Coach Lawrence's life. Looking forward to seeing him in the resurrection. Tim "Goose" Gander”

Perry Robinson wrote a sympathy message

“Maddie and family, we were saddened to learn of tom's passing. He left a legacy of love and a life filled with family, friends, students, and athletes whose lives would all have been different without his presence and contributions to their individual and collective life stories. Who could ask for more at the end of one's life? Personally, i was privileged to spend time with him on a couple of trout streams and around campfires. I will forever cherish those memories...perry and sarah r.”
