Early this year, I covered Laurie’s 90th birthday party. The occasion was marked by good food and drinks, laughter, hugs and kisses, thanksgiving to God, live music and tributes to Laurie. It truly was a joyful celebration as family and close friends came together to commemorate his milestone from being an octogenarian to a nonagenarian!
The following are a selection of photos from the party that feature the birthday boy.
