During his life, he had many community interests; he was an assistant chief of the Union Township Fire Department; he coached the Flying Eagles Ski Club and helped organize tournaments, even hauling snow when needed. He belonged to the American Legion Post 53 and the 40 et 8. He carried the colors for those organizations in many parades, using the 1940 pickup that he carefully restored.
Lawrence enjoyed staying active by golfing and bowling. He also worked on many projects in his shops, creating useful items, as well as restoring old trucks.
