William Lawrence, Sr. Obituary

William "Bill" Lawrence, Sr. passed away peacefully of natural causes at the age of 91, on April 7th, 2025. Bill was born to Joseph and Minnie Lawrence on March 14, 1934, in Lemoore, California. Bill married the love of his life and high school sweetheart, Angie Caetano in 1952. The two were inseparable.

Bill ran his own business hauling hay and clipping cows. He enjoyed telling his grandchildren stories about his life and the things he did. After every story he ended it by saying "If I could do it again I would do it the same way." Bill will be remembered for his sense of humor and his love for his animals.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Minnie, brothers Joe, Johnny, and Vernon, Sisters, Minnie Dias, Mary Silva, Sally Silva, Jerry Cordero and daughter Tessie. He leaves behind his wife Angie, and his children Cathy, Billy and Chrisy. He was also the proud grandfather of seven grandchildren and numerous great and great-great grandchildren.
