Having spent 18 months around Dave during a combat deployment, he was definitely full of life and full of jokes. There was never a dull moment with him. My sorrow and my prayers for his family members and those closest to him. To me along with those that served with him, he was family and will be missed a great deal. Rest well brother and we will see you again.

Amazing energy, full of life and love for his family. Work and life will not be the same without him for my husband. Will try to catch the big one on Lake Champlain for you, Dave!
Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Don and Lawrence family,
I'm so sorry. There just aren't any words for such a tragedy as this.
My husband Tony was in the 131st with David and the last time we saw him was on the Lamoille river bridge a few years ago. We stopped to talk to him and It was nice to hear two army buddies recalling memories, telling jokes, laughing and hearing about those that they remember, what everyone was doing and where everyone was. About an hour or more later, we left with smiles on our faces and sore ribs from laughing so hard. I think it was Dave's purpose in life to bring you to tears from laughter.
I hope that you can all lean on each other and find comfort in your memories.
Our deepest condolences,
Penny & Tony Harvey

My most sincere condolences with David's passing.
I had the privilege to work with Dave in the 131st Engineers during our Desert Storm deployment to Saudi, Iraq and Kuwait. He was am amazingly positive and highly skilled Engineer. Dave always did a great job --- and most importantly, he always had a way of making everyone around him smile no matter how tough things were.
Most sincerely,

So sorry to hear about David, no stunned, actually. The weather was awful, if I recall accurately, but that doesn't make the loss easier to bear. My prayer is that the Lord will bring you his comfort and peace in the midst of your grief. You are not alone! Jesus wrecked every funeral he ever attended, including his own, by refusing to let death have the last word or final say. He holds out hope: "I am the resurrection and the life...." May his hope wash over you today. --Pastor Jeff Cornwell

My husband and I were one of the ones touched by his presence in the radiology department. I'll spare you the details, but we were overwhelmed by my husband's illness last September. David was chatting away about his life and his service to our country. It was so nice to hear someone speak that didn't involve medical issues and took our minds off things for a bit.
The world has lost a special person. Our hearts ache for his family and friends.

I had to have a CT scan after a hysterectomy. He was so silly and made me feel at ease when I was very worried. He made me laugh and we talked about our mutual military services. He distracted me from the worries. He was a good man though I only met him once. I am so sorry he has left this world but he will live on through his wife and children. My thoughts and love go out to them.

Dear Mellisa, I was shocked to hear about this terrible loss of David. He was always so happy, and funny at Copley when I would see him.
After loosing my son, Derrick, all I can say is that it does get easier with time, and you learn how to deal With the loss, some days better than others, but you will always cherish, and hold him in your heart. I believe we will see our loved ones some day, I hold on to this, sometimes this gives me relief, and gets me through the difficult days.
God bless you, and your boys..

While his sense of humor usually had me rolling my eyes, his mission was accomplished - he got a reaction! While a bright light has gone out, he left three brilliant flames behind - my thoughts go out to his wife and sons.

I am deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the passing of Dave Lawrence. I had worked with him at Copley for almost 15 years. During that time, I had never seen David without a smile or a joke to tell. He was always larger than life, and a presence in the Operating Room. He even had a smile on his face in the middle in the night, when the rest of us were grumpy from being on call. I did have the opportunity to administer anesthesia to him once. When he awoke in the recovery room, he simply asked me to, “show him his feet.” I did not understand...
I lifted his blanket, and he replied... “ You mean that you had me under anesthesia and you didn’t even paint my toenails?” He was convinced that we would play a joke on him. I actually think that he was disappointed that we did not come up with a clever prank to play on him. Dave will always be remembered at Copley and in his community. I truly will miss him. My prayers to his family.

Melissa Joshua and Ethan,
I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear this horrible news. When I heard the news on Thursday that Dave was dead it hit me like a ton of bricks. We worked together at the hospital. It has been a very somber place for the past two days. I loved Dave as did MANY MANY people he worked with. I hope he knew that. I think that at his very core he had a huge heart of gold. He could be a very very kind man. I will miss him terribly and will think of him often at Copley Hospital.
Sincerely, Joe McLaughlin

Howeverm he did it with a smile and usually made you laugh. There is not many people you want to look down the barrel of an efp or an ied, but I would choose Dave everytime. He was a Great American, a true hero. He always but others before him. Anyone who knows him has felt a terribler loss and surely the angles are crying for us, but are rejoicing because DAWG hhas joined them.
