Mr Lawrence's Life Story

Born

Passed

Lived In
London
“…I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course.” (2 Timothy 4:7) The untimely and sudden death of Mr Lawrence Lord Owusu, CEO of Lawrence Associates, a money transfer business in the UK on the 27th of August 2020 shocked colleagues, friends and family. The late Mr. Lawrence Owusu aka Kwame Owusu was born on the 5th of May 1954 in Agona Swedru to Nana Ofori Amanfo 1 of Ayoko Royal Clan of Asante Akyem Asankara and Maame Ama Safoa from the Kwahu Omanhene Royal Stool, the Etena Brentford’s clan, both parents of blessed memory. He attended the Salvation Army Basic School at Agona Swedru before continuing his secondary education in 1968 at Oda Secondary School where he obtained his “O” Level certificate in 1973.  He then went on to Accra Polytechnic and graduated with a Diploma in Accounting and Business Studies in 1975. He took up a position at the then Merchant Bank, now Universal Merchant Bank where he later met his future wife, Mrs Doris Owusu.  Lawrence came to London in 1982 to pursue a professional qualification in banking and was later joined by his darling Doris. They were eventually married in London and had two children, Lawson Fiifi Owusu and Lloyd Owusu. The pull of education remained: Lawrence graduated with a BA (Hons) from London Guildhall University and achieved his long ambition to be a banker by gaining the AIB Associate of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in 1995.  As the CEO of Lawrence Associates which was incorporated in 1996, he had franchises all over the country. His business ambitions led him to set up a money transfer business called Lawrence Associates Ltd in the UK, and established one of the best hotels of its kind with modern facilities in Agona Swedru called Cottage Na Grill. His untimely and shocking demise at his residence on the 27th of August is a blow to everyone who knew him. Fare thee well Kwame, may the good Lord keep you in his embrace.

Uncle Law who called me Akonta was a special man to me I remember the Xmas Eve parties we enjoyed at your residence and the jokes we shared together although you are gone forever your will always be remembered for you kindness and sense of humour . Rest in perfect peace Akonta

Isaac OseiReply5 Oct 2020

Uncle Law as i affectionately call you infact you were more than my blood Uncle. You taught me how to build human relationships and guided me in my career path after my ACCA. You gave me the opportunity to gain experience that others in London weren’t prepared to offer us. Your love for humanity is unparalleled. Your death has brought deep pain to myself, Cynthia and the entire children, especially Jude who never had the chance of meeting you after his early days when he left London.   However we believe in the resurrection hope that one day Jehovah will cause the dead to rise up and it will be a joyful moment. Until then sleep in peace my dear Uncle.

Psalms 121:1-8 (KJV) You will lift up your eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh your help?. Your help cometh from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy souls. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. May the Good Lord be your Companion always. From: Mr and Mrs Adomako
