Harry Thomas "Mac" Lauer, age 69, of Lawrence Park, passed away Friday, March 12, 2021. He was born in Erie on January 15, 1952, son of the late Paul Thomas and Virginia McDermott Lauer.

Mac was a machinist at National Fab and Machine in North East and Erie Mill and Press. He enjoyed target practice, cooking, fishing, stain glass work, gardening, bowling, bird watching and classic cars. He was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and loud music.

Mac is survived by his wife of 25 years, Carolyn Raid Lauer; three daughters, Leah Nicoara (John), Shannon Cilluffo (David), and Tamra Sonney (Kyle); a close friend, William Skopow; numerous grandchildren; his in-laws, and Ebensburg cousins. In addition to his parents, Mac was preceded in death by an infant son, William Paul.

Mac's family would like to thank the nurses at UPMC Home Healthcare and the Family Hospice Team, who were there for Mac and his family, especially Denny Seth and Virginia Lopez. Their help and support made this transition easier.
