I was sad to hear that Lawrence passed away. My oldest childhood memories are all from times when my family was together with the Hansen family. Whether it was at the Drontle family farm, visits at Big Fish Lake, or Christmas dinner at the Hansen home. All such great memories, and Lawrence always did his best to keep everyone happy and entertained with his humor and easy going personality. So wish I could have seen Lawrence and Marie at the Drontle family party during my visit to the USA this summer. All my best wishes to the entire family. Mark

The Hansen family has added so many enjoyable times in my life. I was invited into their home by being friends with his son Duane and was treated to hospitality of German heritage. I'll remember Lawrence had a huge puzzle that he put together faster than a hiccup!
God Bless the Lawrence Hansen Family!
