LAWRENCE GROSS

Our very special Dad and Papa, Lawrence Gross, slipped into heaven on the morning of Saturday, August 3, 2013 with his children by his side.

Dad will be lovingly remembered and eternally missed by his children Beverly (David) Tischler, Dennis (Natisha) Gross all of Red Deer; grandchildren Erinn (David) Magnusson, Kyle (Brittany) Guminy, Nevaeh and Jewel Gross. Lawrence is also survived by his siblings George (Jean) Gross, Peter (Donna) Gross, Frank Gross, Lucielle (Mike) Hryciuk and Agnes Peterson.
He was predeceased by his sister Barbara Shockey, brother Philip Gross, sisters-in-law Dorothy and Joan Gross, brothers-in-law Lum Shockey and John Peterson.
Lawrence grew up in Grassy Lake and spent his life living in Taber, a community he was happy to call home. Dad was a gentle, kind hearted man who enjoyed working, visiting with friends and spending time with his family. He never missed a family reunion, standing as the reigning family horseshoe throwing champ for many years. Lawrence will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends.
Many thanks to everyone for the prayers and support sent to Dad and our family during the past few weeks.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Lawrence’s name may be made directly to the Alberta Lung Association, Box 4500, Station South, Edmonton, Alberta T6E 6K2.
