BELMONT – Lawrence "Jumbo" F. Prentice, 64, died Thursday, July 7, 2011, at the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, following a long period of failing health. Jumbo was born Dec. 4, 1946, in Winchendon, Mass. He lived in Andover for many years and Lochmere for more than 15 years until moving to Belmont 10 years ago.

For several years, he worked as a truck driver and was employed with the Jurta Construction Co. and retired from Weaver Brothers Construction Co. due to poor health. He served with the New Hampshire Army National Guard and was a Vietnam veteran, serving with C Btry 3rd Bn 197th FA.

Jumbo leaves his wife of 41 years, Jean E. (Pease) Prentice of Belmont; his son, Lawrence "Tiger" F. Prentice and partner, Ashley Trzesiara, of Manchester; his daughter, Fran Prentice and partner, Mark Matthews, of Saco, Maine; granddaughter, Tasha Dube of Saco, Maine; brother, Elwin Moses of Berlin; sisters, Phyllis Robie and husband, William, of Alexandria and Edie Long and husband, Jeff, of Belmont; and nieces and nephews.

According to Jumbo's request, calling hours will not be held. A committal service with military honors will be held Tuesday, July 12 at 11 a.m. at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery, 110 D.W.

Lawrence m. Jean E. Pease c. 1970. Children:

1. Lawrence "Tiger" F. Prentice. 2011 in Manchester, NH.
2. Fran Prentice. 2011 in Saco, ME.

With the somewhat unusual middle name of "Fairfield," and his Winchendon place of birth, it seems likely that he may a brother of Alvin Fairfield Prentice, b. 1934 (#2 in our Winter 2000 article about Harold Henry Prentice of Burlington, Chittenden Co. VT whose funeral service was in Winchendon.

Harold's wife was Vivian M. Oja who was a member of the Winchendon Church of God and whose obituary suggested conributions in her memory to the Winchendon Church of God.

Neither of their obituaries show a brother named Lawrence, so he might be a cousin.
