No one knows how many lives she touched. She was an incredible woman who loved many and was love by many more. We are saddened by her passing. We will miss her, but we celebrate her life, her concern for others, her gifts of kindness, thoughtfulness and, most of all, laughter.

Joseph F. Lawrence, formerly of Port Washington, died on July 16, 2003, after a long illness. He was 85. Born in Brooklyn, Lawrence graduated from James Madison High School and was trained as a chemical engineer at Brooklyn Polytecnic Institute from which he received both his bachelor's and master's degrees. He was certified and practiced as a professional engineer for five decades, serving as president of the NY Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and founding the LI chapter.

During WWII, Lawrence was one of the young generation of engineers who were called upon early in their careers to serve their country, not in the fields of combat but in the top secret laboratories of the "Manhattan Project" where they refined details of nuclear fission in the production of the first atomic bombs.

After the war, Lawrence headed his own engineering firm in Port Washington, the Lawrence Company, designing sophisticated heat transfer processes for industrial plants. In addition to his professional career, Lawrence gave his time to philanthropic causes in the community. He and his wife, Beatrice, were founding members of The Community Synagogue in Port Washington and Lawrence was a leading member of the Student Loan Program. After 50 years in Port Washington, the Lawrences retired to Ann Arbor, MI in 2001.

Lawrence is survived by his beloved and devoted wife of 60 years, Beatrice; his three loving sons and their wives, Philip and Peggy of Concord, MA, Ted and Wendy of Ann Arbor and Fred and Kathy of Brookline, MA; and eight grandchildren.
