Ted Lawrence passed away on March 10, 2015, after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his two brothers Mike and Tony and numerous nieces and nephews. Gentle, carefree, and fragile are words that would describe Ted. He grew up with an extended family at the Detroit Yacht Club and spent most of his time sailing and iceboating. He was drafted into the Army around the age of 21 and unfortunately could not cope with violence and war. While in boot camp, something snapped and Ted became challenged. From that time on and until his passing he resided in assisted living facilities. He remained a caring brother and faithful friend throughout his life and enjoyed communicating via Internet. He took many trips to Florida to be with brother Mike and his family. He will be missed by those that knew him.
