Arthur John Goranson

Dear Aunt Betty, Steve, Sue, Sandy and Sara,
We are so thankful for Uncle Art's life and his encouragement and support to us. We are so sad to not be able to hear his laugh, advice and general commentary on life. Memories abound of my dad and him, and later Larry, as the "Gregg Outlaws" sitting around the Coder kitchen table; of both you, Bets, and Art, coming to town for all the significant and insignificant occasions of our lives, always helping, encouraging, and giving us something...

Dear Wonderful Goransons,
What a glorious spirit has gone! Art was a one of a kind and will be deeply missed. The great thing that can be said about the lives of Art and Betty is that they shared love, life and laughter where ever they were and they were A LOT OF PLACES!!!!
I would like to thank all of you Goranson's for sharing your "family" time with me and for giving me many wonderful memories. God bless you during these sad days. Love, Mary Nelle Armstrong

Dear Goranson Family,

I am a friend of Andrea's in San Francisco and met many of you during her wedding. I am very sorry to hear of Art's passing. Annie loved him very much and I know Art must have been a very special person to have had produced a grandchild like Annie. My wife, Erika, and I send you our condolences and prayers.

Our hearts will be with you especially on Wednesday with the wonderful gathering of family and friends from across the country. What better way to honor Art's life than to share personal tributes at this time of closure.
Our love to all the family,
Jack and Nancy

Dear Betty, Sue and family,
Tony and I were saddened to hear about Art. Sorry we were not able to see you when we were in Duluth - we called but there was no answer. We will be thinking about you and hope to be able to talk to you soon. Our memories of Art are of a generous, humorous and kind man. I remember all of you last summer at Jamie's reception - it was wonderful to celebrate and see everyone. Our love, Pat & Tony

I am so sorry to hear about your father. I will remember all the good talks we had when I would run into him in Duluth. He always made me feel welcome in him home. I do remember how brave he was to eat the food we prepared for our girl scout badge. You are all in my thoughts. Diane and family

Sue and family, I'm so sorry for your loss during this season of the year. Your dad was a very nice man and I know you all will miss him. I hope that your strong family and many friends will help you at this time. Love, Shirley (Iverson) Elwell

Betty,Susan,Sara,Sandy,and Steve,

Bill and I would like you to know how much Art ment to us. When we built on Clara, Art and Betty were there to give us a meal or let us sauna so we didn't frighten the wildlife. After working on the house all day we looked pretty scary. We have so many wonderful memories and stories about Art and you Betty. Our lives have been enriched and we are thankful that we made the move to Clara 12 years ago. Knowing Art and you Betty, and your family,...

Betty.... We are thinking of you and your family

All our love to you.
Pat and Don
