WELLS – Frank W. Lawrence of Wells, and Englewood, Fla., went home peacefully to the Lord on Sunday morning March 27, 2022, with his adoring wife, Jacqueline, holding his hand.

Frank was the son of Lester G. and Grace V. (Horner) Lawrence. He was born in Camden, N.J. on August 29, 1944.

Frank worked as a salesman for most of his life. His early career was as sales manager for Stone Harbor Yacht Corp in New Jersey. He retired as sales manager of Dearborn Precision Tubular Products of Fryeburg after 25 years.

Frank was predeceased by his parents; as well as in-laws Bob and Joyce Grimmer; Carol Lawrence; and a nephew, Kevin Lawrence. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Jacqueline (Grimmer) Lawrence; his son, Frank Lawrence and wife Julie, his daughter, Kirsten Helfrich and husband Ian; grandchildren Brittany Strange and husband Heath, Jacob Lawrence, Anna Lawrence, Aaron Helfrich, Isaiah Helfrich; and his great-grandchildren Walter and Stella Strange; and his brother, Gary Lawrence.
