Wilford Sorenson
Growing up in Grygla, he met and married the love of his life Irene Sletten and eventually moved to Minneapolis where he worked at a couple of steel plants and sometimes part time as a mechanic.
After a few years they and their four children made their way to Lindstrom, MN where Bud built his farm from scratch with his own hands. It was hard and humble work, but Bud was proud of what he had achieved and built for his family and future generations. During this time he worked for MNDot.
When he retired from there he got a job working with Irene at Hazelden in Center City.
In later years Bud retired, but kept busy with various projects in the garage and the yard of their 40 acre farm. He loved classic cars and could fix anything with a motor, and was always looking for ways to improve upon everyday objects. He loved to visit with friends and have “forenoon coffee” with his loved ones. Volunteering was also important to Bud, as he volunteered for Family Pathways and the local food shelf. Bud was a proud and longtime member of the Masons and was Grand Master for a few years.
He was preceded in death by his parents Melvin and Molly; brothers Raymond and Myron (Jack); sisters Katherine, Inez, Myra and Lillian, and grandson Jared.
He is survived by his beloved wife Irene; children Camie, Michelle, Paul and Tim, 10 grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A celebration of his life was 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 27 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lindstrom, Minnesota. Visitation was prior to the service at church.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations can be made to Fairview Lakes HomeCaring & Hospice, 11725 Stinson Ave., Chisago City, MN 55013 or the Alzheimer’s Association, 7900 West 78th Street, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN, 55439.
