I'm shocked and saddened to hear of Laurence's death. I intend to come to the funeral service next week. When Laurence lived in London we went to a lot of gigs together, including Muse, Coldplay, Mercury Rev and Hard-Fi. I think of him when I hear their music. Heartfelt condolences to all who knew him.

I am deeply saddened as I believe this is my great friend, Laurence. I’ve know Laurence for 20 years in London and we spoke to June and planned to meet on Saturday July 13th but I had no reply to my messages. I’d appreciate confirmation if anyone reads this and I’d very much like to attend his funeral service next week. It’s with shock and sadness that I write this message. My number is 07728 415 134 if anyone would like to contact me.
