Dr. Bobby was one of eleven children born of Dr. Henry Lawrence and Judith Haydel and was considered the clown of the family. He followed his dream in the footsteps of his father and brothers in the medical field to heal and help the sick. He attended Loyola University, LSU Medical School, and interned at Charity Hospital. He was also an Air Force Captain during his residency at Barksdale Air Force Base married with 5 small young children.
After returning to Houma, he joined a pediatric office where he remained for 32 years and added 2 more children to his Bald Eagle’s Nest.
He was most known for his personality, his infectious smile, his pinching of cheeks and the nicknames he would give to everyone. He had a way of making everyone feel so special and important. He will be greatly missed and forever remembered by all those who knew him.
The family would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses at Terrebonne General Hospital that took care of our beloved Dad during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his name to TARC - Houma or St. Louis Infant Center.
Ordoyne Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
