Lawrence Madsen's Obituary
Lawrence passed away at his home earlier this week at the age of 88.
He was born, raised, and lived in and around the Tacoma area. He was a loved dad & grandpa and was loyal and generous to all those whom he befriended.
He enjoyed going to the Tacoma Mall, Ma's Cafe, and driving to Point Defiance, the ocean, and the mountain. He loved his independence of still being able to drive. He loved keeping his “daily routine” as often as possible.
He was an electrician and a longtime member of IBEW Local 76. Over 65 years! He retired from the Tacoma School District in 1986 after nearly 33 years of service.
He is survived by his son Steven Madsen, his step daughters Susan Wardlow and Patty Prescott, and seven grandchildren - Allison Bujacich, Shana Nash, Zachary Worrell, Loren, Elysa, Lindy, and Emmalene Madsen, and one great grandson - Jeremy Nash. Along with many friends.
Thank you to those neighbors and friends who were "watching out" for him and helping as he found it harder to get around.
A private close friend and family service is planned for Friday 5/10/13.
Our thanks to Mountain View Funeral Home for their assistance in planning and helping during this time. Dad will be buried in the Oak section next to his mother and step dad - Susan and Hugh Easton.
