Lawrence R. Watson, age 66, of Haverhill, passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer on Sunday, May 7, 2023.  Just like he dealt with all experiences in life, Larry managed his illness with strength and grace, and wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible.  On his final days, he was surrounded by his children and close friends who he adored more than anything.  Larry grew up in Topsfield and graduated from Masconomet Regional High School.  He went on to own and operate Foreign Auto Engineering in Rowley where he took his passion for foreign cars and ran a successful business for 20+ years.  Larry was an avid skier and spent many summers on his boat at Lake Winnepesaukee.  Later in life, he enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson with the Journeyman and treasured the many friendships formed.  Larry is survived by his two children, Sarah and Matthew Watson, his sister Elaine Watson, grandson Dylan O'Brien and an extensive number of close friends and family.  He was predeceased by his mother, Claire Watson and father Richard Watson.  A wake will be held Saturday,  May 13, 2023 in the Goodrich Funeral Home from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.  All are welcome.
