Lawrence Housell Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 19, 2016.

Lawrence C Housell, 76, passed November 18, 2016. He was born in New Jersey to Millicent and Lawrence Housell. He met the love of his life, Evdoxia Hallas. Their love story began when he spotted her in the window of her dad's restaurant. Larry joined the military, married Edith in 1960 and traveled the world with their daughters Catherine and Laura. The Gypsy blood has been in their system ever since. During his career he served two tours in Vietnam and was awarded a Purple Heart and other honors. After retiring to Florida his world revolved around his family. Catherine married John H.Dolan and they had two sons: William Karl and Nicholas Clark married to Joshua Dwain Patterson. Laura married Brian E. Peeler and they had three daughters: Madison Shea, Sarah Delaney, and Sinclaire Elise. His generous heart was enviable, and he will be missed by all the lives touched.
