Sending our love to the Cowan family. Laurie was a kind, humble gentleman with a great sense of humour. Laurie was community minded and as our school bus driver, connected with many families over the years. Laurie always had time for a yarn, a smile for those in need. It has been many, many years since we connected with Laurie, however we remember him fondly. He always had a cheeky grin and glint in his eye.
Moe Mai Laurie.
