Jack Lawrence, a reluctant podiatrist who chose to do what he had always wanted to do as a kid in early-20th-century Brooklyn, write lyrics for songs (many of which became hits), died Sunday in Danbury, Conn. He was 96 and lived in West Redding, Conn.
The cause was renal failure and complications of a fall at his home, his son, Richard, said.
…
In 1979, Mr. Lawrence adopted his partner, Richard Debnam; he is Mr. Lawrence’s only survivor.
