Lawrence was born on February 6, 1940 to Fred and Leona (Schuett) Timmerman at Correctionville, Iowa.  He attended Holstein Community Schools, graduating in 1959.  He was united in marriage to Dorthy Krayenhagen on February 11, 1962 at Holstein, Iowa.

He worked as a farmer for over 40 years raising sheep, chickens, hogs, and cattle.  He retired from farming in 1998.  During his retirement, he took a job as a Walmart greeter in Storm Lake, where he worked for 13 years.  He often talked about how much he enjoyed that job seeing and talking to people.

He was a member of the Methodist Church.  He was a past 4H Leader and member of Pork Producers and Sheep Producers in Ida County.

Lawrence loved spending time with his family and friends.  He absolutely adored his grandchildren and the great grandchildren.  He enjoyed wood working, fishing, trapping, hunting, doing puzzles and gardening - especially his flowers.  He loved to tell stories to anyone who would listen.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Leona Timmerman, brother and sister-in-law Harland and Janet Timmerman and mother-in-law and father-in-law Helen and August Krayenhagen.
