Lawrence Burton Johnk, the son of LeRoy and Doris (Ives) Johnk, was born February 7, 1927, in Oto, Iowa. Lawrence was raised in the Oto area until the age of 6 when his family moved to Ida Grove, Iowa. He attended Ida Grove High School and in 1945 enlisted in the U.S. Army. Lawrence served during World War II and was stationed in Japan. During his enlistment he was a member of the regimental band and played the trumpet. On March 23, 1953, Lawrence was united in marriage to Gwendolyn Hoaglund in Nogales, Arizona. The couple lived in Arizona and California for several months, then returned to Ida Grove where they raised their family of three children: Melanie, Kim and Larry. Lawrence worked for United Builders and Barry Motors as a mechanic for a number of years. Then owned his own truck to drive long distance runs delivering meat from coast to coast. Later he drove for Mid-Continent out of Denison and when semi-retired he drove short runs for 3 of a Kind out of Schleswig. Lawrence was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Ida Grove and the McNamara-Moore Post No. 61 of the American Legion. He enjoyed dancing and listening to big band music as well as playing music on his trumpet. He and Gwendolyn took delight in attending the Glenn Miller Music Festival in Clarinda, IA and the “Bix” Beiderbecke Festival in Davenport, IA. Lawrence enjoyed golfing, reading historical fiction books and building things such as an ultra-light glider, bobsled and canoe.
