My brother and I studied organ with Reverend Carlson at North Austin Lutheran Church in Illinois in the 1960s while he was attending Seminary. We attended his ordination. I got in touch with him a few years ago and was hoping to contact him again. So sorry to hear of his passing.

Pastor Carlson was a pastor at my mother's church; and then for a short time, at mine. An authentic person with integrity. My condolences for your loss.
