Lawrence Marshall Hobson

Clemmons Mr. Lawrence Marshall Hobson, 75, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 5, 2015 at his home. Mr. Hobson was born February 13, 1940 in Yadkin County to the late Claude and Minnie Brown Hobson. He lived in this area his entire life and loved being surrounded by friends and family. He was employed with Stroh's Brewery from which he retired after 28 years of loyal service. Lawrence loved gardening, fishing, auto racing, old cars, going out to eat, spending time at the beach, and Chihuahuas. He especially enjoyed meeting friends each morning for breakfast at Clemmons Kitchen. He could fix anything and was always there to lend a helping hand to those in need. Lawrence was a jokester and was always smiling. There was a special twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face the instant he saw his grandchildren. All who knew him loved his sense of humor and kind spirit. Lawrence is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Annette Spillman Hobson, along with a family of children, grandchildren, relatives and friends who will love and remember him forever. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one son, three siblings, and his best friend and they were in his thoughts every passing day.
