Minnetonka, Minn. - Laverne Drilling, age 79, passed away peacefully at his home in Minnetonka, Minn. on Nov. 24, 2016.

The family thinks he did it to escape the effects of the presidential election...or irrational fears of turkeys (although not proven).

Born July 1, 1937 in Cresco, Iowa, Vern had a life-long passion of making the lives of those around him better. His witty and kind heart will be missed.

Memorial service will follow in the spring, when it's not so cold. In lieu of flowers, please give to your favorite charity. Washburn-McReavy Hopkins, 1400 Mainstreet, Hopkins, Minn.

Vern, or "Ferd" as he preferred to be called, was a psychologist, who touched many lives, helping individuals deal with their drug and alcohol problems, and so much more.

Vern was an author who changed many lives of people struggling with addictions or questioning retirement.

He was preceded in death by wife, Madelyn (nee Henry) Drilling; parents, Ferd and Leona (nee Herold) Drilling; siblings, Gene Drilling, Al (Delores) Drilling, Dorothy Drilling and Eileen (Judy Rothfork) Drilling; and in-law, Mike O'Hearn.

He is survived by son, John Drilling; siblings, Loraine O'Hearn and Robert (Dorothy) Drilling; sister-in-law, Rita Drilling; and many nieces and nephews.
