To the Ball family I was saddened to hear of Laurence's passing. My parents and I have known him for many years from Harmony BeachLake Kabetogama. He was always so friendly and warm. We will miss him terribly. Make you always remember him with love and grace! Debbie Edlund
Laurence was a good man and will be greatly missed. Our sincere sympathy is with you. The Ewing family, Matthew, Margery and Marilyn.
Terje and I looked forward to seeing Laurence each summer at Lake Kabetogama. Laurence was a special person to us. He would share his fishing tips and in later years take us to share his secret fishing holes.I proudly wear my fishing lure earrings made by Laurence. We enjoyed a meal of walleye when we learned of Laurence's journey to heaven and toasted our dinner. We have decided to toast each walleye dinner with a glass of wine in memeory of our friend. We are blessed to have known Laurence and his kind heart. Mary and Terje Brandshaug

Our sympathy to the Ball-Drake families. Laurence was an avid outdoorsman and loved his fishing up north. We had many fish discussions and stopped by Kabetogama to see him one summer, but he was out on lake so we visited with Carol. May he rest in peace. Larry & Coleen Cook, Moulton IA

I have known Lawrence for as long as I have known Helen which is some 21 some years, we hit it off right away, like a kindred spirit, he was always giving me a hard time and I always gave it right back to him. He told me to call him 'Dad', I felt very honored by that request, I truly loved him very much. I will always hold in my heart the memories of the many games of 'phase 10' and 'dominoes'. He was so Funny!! Helen n I would tell him if either one of us died the other one would take care of him, he would look at the both of us n grin. He took such a great joy in life, fishing and his guns, and the many friends and family brought him the most Joy. When he got that twinkle in his eye, you better watch out he was usually up to something, and you might be on the receiving end of it. My thoughts n prayers go out to his family.I am sorry for your loss, GOD took home a wonderful person, n I am sure he is Fishing somewhere on that sweet 'by n by' n someday we will meet him at that Shore, rest in peace 'dad'' Love you, (girly) a.k.a. Nita
Please accept our sincere sympathy and prayers, and may your loving memories give you peace.
