Josh Laurence

Josh Laurence is an undertaker-come-bartender of the Last Gasp Saloon and Funeral Parlour in Redding in the year 2241.

Background
A tall, thin man who cannot seem to rid his habit of measuring everyone up, Josh Laurence is the owner and bar tender of the Last Gasp Saloon, a combined funeral parlor and bar for the miners, converted when he failed meeting ends just by burying people. He is a rather odd person, with a tendency to make puns focused on his role as the town's undertaker.

His business got even worse when wanamingos started pushing up the graves and bringing the dead to the surface, forcing Laurence to re-bury them continuously. This was the primary factor that made Josh convert his establishment into a bar.

Other interactions
Laurence offers beer at $5 per bottle or $10 for a round of companions, and gives some hints about wanamingo activities in Redding. He is also the source of many graveyard puns. He refuses to talk with grave diggers.

Appearances
Josh Laurence appears only in Fallout 2.
