Afriend of mine recently passed away. Since he was also an Arduino enthusiast,and had some miscellaneous stuff, his family gave it to me. I trying to get this LCD working but don't have the software.It is in two pieces that go together, a Sensor shield and the LCD.

My condolences, friends can sometimes be hard to find, sometimes they are there for you at the right moment.
It seems like a normal 12864 display with a SPI add-on board.
You might remove the add-on board, it might be easier to use the pins directly.

Unfortunately I lost the use of my right arm. Removing the board is beyond my one handed capabilities.

PS I knew it was a 12864.
Okay, lets focus on that SPT add-on (I misread it before as "SPI").
This is it: 3-wire_Serial_LCD_Module_(Arduino_Compatible)_(SKU_DFR0091)-DFRobot
There are more documents on this page: 3-wire Serial LCD Module (Arduino Compatible) - DFRobot
Also the schematic is on that page.
The schematics show that it is very simple.
You can use the 4-data or 8-data line setup, and the rest is like a normal display with RS, E and RW.
