In loving memory of John Frederick Lawrence who sadly passed away on Sunday 13th August 2023.
John was born at the Luton & Dunstable hospital to parents Gladys and John and was the eldest of three sons. He met his wife, Rita, in 1964 and they went onto marry on 9th September 1967. They have two daughters, Julie and Angie.
He lived in Dunstable all his life, attending Northfields school, before studying book binding at the London School of Printing & Graphic Arts. He began his career at Waterlows, before going to work at De La Rue, where he remained for the rest of his working life, until he retired at 60.
John was a kind hearted, caring, family man, with a great sense of humour. From a young age, he was into art and science fiction and during his retirement went onto fulfil his passion for these interests by regularly painting and producing science fiction comics, something he became well known for within the science fiction world.
He was once referred to by an artist he represented as ‘the’ John Lawrence. There is only one John Lawrence and he will be missed by all who knew him.

John was a wonderful friend and professional colleague for nearly 30 years, whom I had the pleasure of working with on science fiction publications, something we both loved. His enthusiasm and kindness is something I will never forget. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.

As kids John and I went together to the "Minors" on a Saturday morning at the ABC cinema, I think that is where he got his love of sci-fi. I will miss him. Alan
