My family lives in the house across the street from the Lauries. We are very sad to loose them. They were very good neighbors. John was always looking out for us. Sometimes he would call me at work to advise me of things he thought I might need to know about. I always felt safe with John around. He was such a lover of animals. I hope his dogs got good homes.



If there is anything we can do to help the family we would be happy to help.



John and Rosemary are in our thoughts and prayers.
