Lawrence Anthony Grace IV

Lawrence "Buddy" Grace IV, 60, left this world peacefully on May 15, 2014. He is survived by his three beautiful daughters, Lindsay, Sara and Julie Grace of Johnston, and their mother, Gina Grace of Providence. Buddy was the son of the late Lucy (Fiore) and Lawrence Grace III. He was the grandfather of the late Arianna Danielle Jimmis. He was the brother of Linda Grace-Costellese, Kathleen Ricard, Patricia Normandin, David Grace and Steven Grace. He had several nieces and nephews as well as great-nieces and nephews. Buddy was the companion of Angela Flaxington. He also was very close to his many cousins scattered throughout the U.S.

Buddy served his country honorably in the U.S. Army. He graduated in 2007 from New England Institute of Technology as an electrician with an Associates Degree. He was a very skilled mechanic and electrician. If something needed fixing, Buddy was the man to call. Buddy was an avid Harley-Davidson rider and never missed an opportunity to hit the open road. He was the world's greatest dad and he loved his daughters deeply. They were his world and he always made sure he spent time with them. Buddy was loved and respected by many and he was a good and loyal friend. He was always positive in the face of adversity and in the words of the man we all loved so much, "It is what it is". Rest in peace, Buddy.
