Born Sept. 12, 1946, Lawrence was a devoted father, grandfather and loyal friend to all he met. Lawrence was the son of Emmitt and Lillie Watson of College Station, Texas, who proceeded him in death. He attended Lincoln High School in College Station and afterwards served in the United States Army stationed in Vietnam.
