Elsie, Carl and Family,
Your Dad was a very kind and gentel man. I so enjoyed our "little visits" we had at the Moose. He will be missed by many and remembered for the kind person he was.

To the Sjodin Family
My thought and Prayers are with you at this time. Carl "ED" was such a good friend of our family. I would have to stand on a kitchen chair just to as tall as he was. He will alway have a special place in my heart.

We always enjoyed Carl's visits to California, and especially getting together for extended family dinners and birhday celebrations. Our sincere condolences to our Brother-in-law Peter, wife Jan, nieces Terri-Lynn and Kim, and all of the Sjodin sons, daughters, spouses, and grandchildren of this kind and gentle man. He will be missed, but his deeds and accomplishments in life will continue to burn brightly in the hearts and memories of those who share his family name and heritage. Rest...

My Grampa was an amazing man.
He had wonderful long life and I truly hope I have the same incredible healthy life he had! He was a charmer, and a great dancer...I am sharing this with you in honor and celebration of his life...not in grief. :)
