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. He was a hard worker and provided for his family for many years as an employee of Ryder Truck. When he wasn’t working, taking care of his children or visiting family, he was known to take cross country trips on his motorcycle, which he loved. He accepted Jesus as his savior and held the hope of resurrection. He now rests in peace awaiting his hope of eternal glory.
