Sadly, a teacher who was a major influence on many Burke students passed away Monday.
Dr. Stephen "Doc" Lawrence was in instrumental music teacher for 10 years at Burke in the 70s & 80s and spent the rest of his career overseeing the instrumental music staff for all of OPS.
As one former student recalled:
"Dr. Lawrence touched the lives of all of his students. He taught us to be excellent. He taught us to be silly (Bits and Pieces variety show). He taught us to find the joy in all situations, even 7 am marching band practice (and those wacky halftime shows!) Most of all, he taught us to be human, and I, for one, will always be indebted to him." - Marti Epstein, Class of 1978
As a composer, Dr. Lawrence had over 100 choral and instrumental works published by Lorenz, Alfred, Warner Brothers, Hal Leonard, Shawnee Press, and Kendor Music Publishers. He also wrote music for international television and radio commercials.
Funeral services will be are Saturday at 11 am in Omaha.
