In his leisure time, Lawrence loved to play chess, fish, garden, cook and bake for his loved ones.
He leaves to cherish his life, his wife Rosie Martinez; his favorite aunt, Carol Gamble; his daughter, Martisa Monroe (Leonard) of Florida; his siblings, Zachary (David) Jackson, (Marcia), Carol Bullock (Michael), Jeanine Mesarick (Joseph) and Prudencio R. Martinez, III, all of Harrisburg; one grandson Major, of Florida; Larry Green, whom he affectionately called Pop; and a host of other relatives and friends. Lawrence will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
