He leaves “the light and love of his life” Renee, his much loved and respected sons Jordan (Dawn) and Jeremy (Andrea), his adored grandchildren Quinn, Grace, Marlee, Rowan, Lohan and Jessa who brought him great joy. Laurie also leaves his loving and loved sisters Patricia (Harry) and Charlotte as well as his dear sister-in-law Margie and brothers-in-law Harry, Neil, and Allan, cousin-in-law Jane and many nieces and nephews.
