Falwell; andgreat-grandchildren, Caroline Yonaitis Falwell, Fields Harrington Falwell, Tully Mason Walcutt, and Candler Thomas Pacot. Lawrence was a longtime member of Fairview Christian Church and the Loyal Sons and Daughters Sunday School Class. Lawrence was involved in numerous activities and ventures around Central Virginia. He and his brother, Calvin founded Falwell Airport in 1946, as well as Truck Body Corporation and Falwell Corporation in 1947. Lawrence was an avid HAM radio operator and spent much of his spare time speaking with friends around the world on his always growing HAM radio system. He also spent much of his time with family at his lake home on Buggs Island Lake, but for those who knew him best, knew that his true passion was aviation. Lawrence earned his pilot's license at the age of 16 years old, and subsequently earned many other ratings on his way to becoming a Designated Pilot Examiner for the F.A.A. Among many of the he awards received, one was for 50 years of flying with no accidents or incidents, as well as he and his brother Calvin being inducted to the Virginia Aviation Hall of Fame in 1986. His warm smile and helpful nature will be missed by all. A celebration of Lawrence's life will be held at Fairview Christian Church with Pastor Jonathan Falwell and Pastor Curtis Wheeler officiating at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 4, 2017. The family will receive friends one hour prior at the church. Interment will follow the service in Fort Hill Memorial Park.
