Todd, I was shocked to hear the news. My heart went out to you and your family that very instant. I just wanted you to know that I am so very sorry for the loss of your dad. Losing a parent is so hard but Todd if I can say one thing. Your memories of your dad will always be, even down the road when you allow yourself a happy moment. Happy moments dont mean we forgot it means we are living and that is exactly what your dad would want.
God bless,

I'm so sorry to hear of Bill's sudden and unexpected journey. Over the years, I did business with him on many different occasions. He was always a very kind, honest and knowledgeable man. I have a great respect for him. My heart goes out to his family, close friends and business associates.

Todd, Joan, Tim, Trent and Jorgensen family,
Bill's passing was a shock and one that we are terribly sorry to hear about. I am glad to have known him from my days at STCAR and I always appreciated his kindness and wonderful smile when he walked in the door. He was respected for his strong ethics and integrity. The real estate community south of the river just lost one of its "good guys". Hopefully the honorable way he conducted himself is a consolation and a joy. Our deepest symathies to you and your family.

Joan, we were devastated to hear the news of Bill's passing. What a great guy! He has always been such a special part of the "bunch's" annual trip to the North Carolina mountains, and someone who we always looked forward to seeing once again. Their trip here will never be the same....

I don't know of anyone in the real estate business who is more respected than Bill Jorgensen. He modeled outstanding work ethics, shared his incredible wealth of knowledge and demonstrated uncommon grace in working with his fellow agents. He will be sorely missed among the entire real estate community. I am so sorry for all of you and thank you for sharing your husband/dad/grandpa with all of us. May you draw comfort in the knowledge that he is at peace with his maker.
Sympathy and love to you all.

Joan & family, I have known Bill since our ATO college days in 1963. He was always one of the "Good Guys" well like and respected by all. He was my trusted real estate agent as well when I moved to Burnsville in 1976, Apple Valley in 1991 and when I sold my parents home in 2001. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing at such a young age.
