GRAFTON: Lawrence B. Dunbar, 78, passed away April 29, 2017 at home surrounded by his loving family following a lengthy illness. He is survived by his wife of 56 years Sonja (Flockton) Dunbar, his daughters Debbie L. Auger and her husband David, Kelly Dunbar and her companion David Matusiewicz and Colleen Maurais and her companion Gerry Michaud, his sister Debbie B. Dunbar and her companion Rds Stark, his grandchildren Nicole Auger and her husband Maxwell Sauber, Corey Auger and his companion Jamee Golub. He was predeceased by his sisters Arlene Kasper and Marie Stephens. Lawrence was born March 15, 1939 in Whitinsville son of the late Julia (Baladyga) and Bernard S. Dunbar. The simple pleasures of tending to his tomato garden and lilies, meticulously recording events large and small in his diary, reading or taking in a sci-fi film with his grandchildren gave him contentment and joy. No memorial services are planned. Please honor Lawrence with a donation to the Grafton Food Bank PO Box 324 Grafton, MA 01519.
