Who's Who in Virginia's Long Term Care Facilities
Mr. Lawrence Farmer
- Back
Mr. Lawrence Farmer, 88 years old, grew up in Danville, Virginia. After graduating from high school in 1942, he journeyed out from his hometown to enlist in the United States Marines. His decorated military career included a tour in World War II where he was awarded a Purple Heart for being wounded in Iwo Jima. However, those injuries only proved to be a springboard to greater things because Mr. Farmer went on to receive his Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology from the College of William and Mary on the G.I. Bill.
With medals on his lapel and determination in his heart, he continued his pursuit of dedication and loyalty by joining the Secret Service. While there he was responsible for the protection of seven presidents, including Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald W. Reagan. He was later employed as a Special Agent in charge of the Norfolk Virginia Office and is still considered as a world renowned document examiner.
Mr. Lawrence Farmer is a resident at Autumn Care of Suffolk where he has resided since November 2010.
