We, the family of Lawrence Burman, regret to announce his passing on Wednesday, August 17, 2016, at the Halifax Infirmary in Halifax, N.S.
Born April 30, 1947, in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, he was a son of the late Alfred and Carmen (Tourville) Burman. Lawrence was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces and retired from Parks Canada, where he worked at the Fortress of Louisbourg. He is survived by his son, Daniel (Sarah) Burman, Coxheath; sisters, Lucie (Denis), Winnie, Stella (Roch) and Claire (Alain) Burman, all of Quebec and Marie (Chris) Deckert, Ont.; brothers, Michael (Ginette), Steven (Rose), Desmond (Ginette) and Leo (Danielle) Burman, also all of Quebec; grandchildren, Luke, Marc and Zoe Burman, Coxheath; sister-in-law, Diane Burman, Quebec, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. Besides his parents, Lawrence was predeceased by his brother, Paul. Lawrence will always be remembered for how generous he was with his time, his laid back nature, his smile, and his laugh. He was always there to lend a helping hand and was a truly dedicated Dad, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and friend. Lawrence would be seen alongside of his son on numerous father /son projects, attending the rink for hockey for his three grandchildren and travelling long distances to spend time with family in other provinces. Children adore him, we all love him dearly and he has touched the hearts of many.
There will be a graveside service open to all at Oakfield Cemetery, Mira, on Wednesday, August 24th, 2016, at 1 p.m. with Rev. Paul Murphy officiating. Memorials may be made to a charity of your choice.
Lawrence's generous time with everyone created such great memories and has enriched our lives. Please pass along any of these memories and stories along with any words of comfort which can be sent to the family at www.sydneymemorialchapel.ca or e-mail sydneymemorialchapel@ns.sympatico.ca.
