Lawrence was born August 31, 1953 to Lawrence E. Seal and Sara (Wilson) Myers.
Lawrence, known to many as “Larry” or “Jeff”, worked at the VA Illiana Health Care System as a CNA from 1990 – 2016 when he retired. During his time at the VA he received countless awards for his excellent care. He demonstrated a strong commitment to the veterans and their families.
In his early years he worked for Palmer Distributing as a truck driver. He then worked for his parents as a cook at Coon’s Tavern before acquiring his job at the VA.
Lawrence enjoyed working with wood and being an overall “fix it” man. He enjoyed online games and was a crossword puzzle enthusiast. He loved being outdoors as much as possible and was meticulous when tending to his yard. In his younger years he enjoyed a good game of pool and was quite the shark. He cherished every minute he spent with family and friends.

Grandchildren Patrick and Victoria Martin, Jaylin Seal, Nora and Troy Thurman, Anamarie and Heather Hawker.
