Unfortunately, I don't have good news to share with you here.

Laurens was one of the most positive guys I've known in my life. Almost as if he didn't know there was an alternative. He will be missed.

J. Laurens Schalekamp
Celebrations of Laurens’ life will be held Sunday, June 22, 2008 in Newport, R.I.
Looks like it will be at O'neill Hayes Funeral home.
