I am pretty certain that Lawrence was my father's cousin. My father passed away many years ago in NYC. My father's parents were John and Victoria Gans, also of NYC. Our Canadian and US family has not been in contact in many years. If you wish to connect my phone # is 954-260-5197. Email is jeg614@ymail.com. My condolences on Lawrence's death. - Posted by: JOHN GANS (Son of Ernest Gans - NYC USA ) on: Oct 05, 2016

The Uncle Lorry I remember is the Uncle Lorry in the picture. Easy going, nice smile, soft spoken. As a child, my parents took me to visit at his house along the river. I could not believe my eyes. Gardening became a life long passion for me from that moment. Fifty years later, I still say to my wife and Mom, I wish my Uncle Lorry could be here to see what I've done. I built a hummingbird habitat, with my Uncle Lorry looking over my shoulder, in spirit, every step of the way. Good thing the water here is not metered. It's on right now as a matter of fact. I always looked up to him. He kept me grounded. I was proud to have his blood. I admired my Uncle Lorry, and his Dad, my Grandpa Gans too. Good, hard working, solid people who set an example I try to live up to. In their memory, and in their honor, I try my best to do the same. Love you, Uncle Lorry. In my heart and mind, you live on with me forever. - Posted by: Bruce Thomson (Nephew) on: Aug 22, 2016
