Val Eugene Evensen

I have a picture he gave my parents the day were baptized in the church on April 7, 1963 in São Vicente, São Paulo, Brazil. I had less than two years, so I do not remember it, but it sure made a big difference in our lives. My parents and siblings still in the church, we are sealed in the temple and I'm the wife of the President of Brazil Maceio Mission today.
Thank Elder Evensen for his labor of love.

Val and I worked together at Lore for 5 great years. He was there to listen to me rant & rave about people, then we would laugh and go back to work. I will miss you very much.

Val and Frosty Martin were good friends, as was I. On his mission, Val had to escort my cousin, when her son died on his mission. It was a small world. It is a sadder world today for me.

Val and I have been friends since first grade at Park School. What great memories!

“We have known Val since we were children in Durango. He was so outgoing and talented. We don't ever remember him being upset or mad. He was fun to be around and was an example of goodness. We admire his leaving his successful career in Hollywood to return to Durango to care for his parents: What an honorable tribute to his parents. We married and left Durango in 1964 and never saw him again until we got together again in November 2011. It was a delightful reunion...

Val was a great friend and colleague, always kind and helpful and smiling. We shared many laughs in the early days of Self-Management Institute aka SMI, later renamed Lore International Institute. This was in the mid-1990s, when there were just a few employees. Val processed I don't know how many thousands of an assessment called the Survey of Influence Effectiveness, or the SIE. One especially busy day he got a little flustered and answered the phone, "Good afternoon, SIE" (instead of SMI)....

Val,
Was a very talented man. As a boy, I enjoyed his art work sketches and his humor. He was an excellent singer. The Evensen family were and are great friends of my family, the Joseph Phillip and Marie Cardon family.

No one has touched my life in such a positive way as Val with his joyful disposition, strong faith, and wonderful sense of humor. I will miss you so much and hope to see you again. I'm honored to have called you my friend and I'll always cherish your advice and wisdom.
