BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

In loving memory of Lawrence E. Dorenkamp on his 80th birthday, March 1, 2026.

Dear Ollie,

Three months ago today,

Heaven called you home to stay.

Yet on this first of March we say,

You’d be eighty years old today.

With candles bright and laughter near,

We wish that you were with us here.

Your steady love still lights our way,

And guides our hearts from day to day.

You were “Dad” with strength and grace,

A gentle hand we can’t replace.

But “Pap” - your proudest, sweetest joy,

To Brayden and Coltyn, your boys.

In their smiles, your spirit shines -

A love that lives beyond all time.

Forever our Dad, so strong and kind.

Forever our Pap, in heart and mind.

Ollie, we Love You and miss you, Always!

Lisa and Brian, Larry and Julie, Brayden, Coltyn, Beau and Mauti
