Obituary
Gregg A. Laurence, 69, of Lincoln,
passed away at his home on Wednesday, November 29,
2023.
Gregg Allan Laurence was born January 27, 1954, in
Rockford, the son of Gerald W. and Fern Pohl
Laurence. He married Vicky Lewendowski on March 11,
1978 and they spent their next 45 years building a
wonderful life and family together. Their family
consists of their three children: Seth (Jessica)
Laurence, Merideth (Wesley) Schrader, and Elizabeth
Laurence; five grandchildren: Grace, Olive, Everett,
Graham, and Audrey. He has two brothers: Larry
(Jane) Laurence and Lance (Linda) Laurence; and one
sister: Penny (Bob) Nunez.
Gregg graduated from Rockford Lutheran High School
in 1971 and attended Rock Valley Junior College. He
was a strong and loyal employee of Holland Trucking
for 36 years. He attended Jefferson Street Christian
Church and took pride in being a member of the
safety team there. He enjoyed playing golf and pool,
shooting guns, spending time with family, enjoying
his grandkids and his dogs. |
Gregg was a deeply caring and giving
husband, father, grandfather, friend and neighbor.
He instinctively exemplified the love of Christ to
everyone he encountered. He maintained his sense of
humor even in some especially difficult
circumstances. But more than anything, he was and
will always be loved and admired by his family.
