I just was reflecting back on my musical career and recalled Mr. Torgerson. He was always very patient and kind. Someone mentioned that a big guy like him could hold a cello like a violin. So he hoisted one up and played it that way. Rest in Peace, sir. You impacted many lives. Thank you

Bette,
You are in our thoughts and prayers,Stan was such a inspiring person and we will miss the brilliant smile that always would light up the room. We were all so thankful to have had him in our lives. He was such a wonderful friend not to mention a Super Santa. Give me a call if you need anything

To Stan's Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Stan's death. I had the pleasure of working with him for a number of years at Elm Creek. He was a very special person and a wonderful teacher. He will be greatly missed.

Hi Betty (Miss Gibbs)
I was sorry to hear of your loss. I heard through the grapevine that your Stan had passed away. I think of you often and so much to remember of the times we all had together. Now I will have you in my prayers and thoughts.
Sandy (your former student who is much older.)

Mr T was my orchestra teacher, as well. (Osseo High School, class of '80) He was so patient and kind with us. I learned to appreciate music and to understand teamwork under his direction. God bless!

To the Family of Stan,
I knew Stan when I was employed at Elm Creek. He was always so kind and soft spoken. The world needs more people like him.
God Bless you all...

Stan was a tremendous man and teacher. I last ran into Stan at the bank. After we finished conversing, a young boy came up and asked me if that was Mr. Torerson who just left.I informed that indeed it was Mr. Torgerson. The boy proceded to tell me what a great teacher Stan was, and how he had made a difference in his life. What a fine tribute to a great man. May you find peace in Stan's contributions to young people.

Bette,
I am so sorry. You are often in my thoughts. I remember when we coached volleyball together and both our fathers were ill. That was such a difficult time and now you have to face this loss.
Warmest regards,

My mother told me yesterday that Mr. T passed away. My prayers are with you. My name is Pam Olson (Pedersen) Mr T was my orchestra teacher from 1983-1986. He used to call me girl friday as I helped him out with the class for those years. I remember all are orchestra tours. They were a blast! I have some awesome pictures that I will bring with me today to share. May god be with you on this day.

My son Bill will never forget how Stan made playing the violin an important part of his life. Stan will always be remembered by his students and the music he created in their lives.

Stan was such a wonderful guy. He loved his family, his friends, his students, his coworkers, music and life. He was a perfect example of how to live your life full of joy and giving. I will miss him greatly along with countless others who were touched by his gentle love.
