Carlyle A. "Skip" Sorensen

I had the unique honor of knowing Skip my whole life, since as long as I can remember. He was my dad's best friend and was always fun to have around. I can remember countless early mornings and late nights packing fishing gear, loading and unloading boats and speeding across choppy water in the dark trying to get off the lake and out of the rain. I'll miss Skip and will always have fond memories of him.

Ted and I are so sorry to hear of Skip's passing...too young. We have many fond memories of days passed. We worked hard at those Fall Festivals but we had a lot of fun.
God Bless

Having been blessed to work with Skip on so many projects I know that he was not about creating buildings but a rather about improving peoples lives. He was always ready to help and it was not about money but a personal ministy of service. The lessons I learned in kindergarten about sharing were on display thru Skip everyday.

Skip, I know you were called up there to build a mansion for us all. Looking forward to seeing you.

To all in the Sorensen family,

r'm fortunate to have worked with Skip over the last seven years. Skip's passion showed in so many ways. He always reached out to all of us in the Senior Housing world.

His eyes sparkled when he talked about any of these, especially grandchildren!

No request was too small. He once brought a...

Skip was an amazing architect, but he was an even better friend, mentor, family man and gentleman.

I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him and am grateful for the professional lessons he taught me over the years.

Skip has touched so many lives and made a tremendous contribution to senior housing and the eveloution of "changing aging" in our industry. Skip is in heaven in the loving embrace of our Lord and I know he will continue to guide our collective...

Linda, Erika and Family,
Just a note to let you know we are thinking of you all. Happy memories will replace the grief and celebrating Skip's life will make everyone's sorrow a little less.

Skip made me proud to be an architect and proud to call him my friend. God bless Skip and the Sorensen family.

A good man, both personally and professionally. I'll miss you Skip.

I met Skip through our mutual friend Jim Beckwith almost twenty years ago and was lucky to stay in touch over the years. Skip spent time with my parents in Faribault during the early days of the Cardinal Point project, where they soon after moved. What a gift Skip and Paul Sentman made possible for them. His design work had no ego - just service on a very human level.
