Arvid GULLERUD Obituary

GULLERUD, Arvid G. W. (Age 95) On December 18, 2015 our dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather joined his Heavenly Father. Arvid was born on January 19, 1920 in Glendarado, Minnesota to Olaf and Sarah Gullerud. After receiving his theological degree, he served the Lord and ministered to congregations in Iowa, Wisconsin, Texas, California, Oregon and Washington. Arvid is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Carl Monrad (C.M.), and his sisters Adele Pfeiffer, Dagny Gullerud, and Lois Jordahl. He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Eleanore, and children Elizabeth Bear, Randi Pomerantz (Carey), Joan Gullerud, Rachel Jackson (David), Heidi Libby (Doug), Peter Gullerud, 10 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, brother-in-law David Odegard (Mary Anne) and many special nieces and nephews. A memorial service is planned for March 2016 and will take place at Gethsemane Lutheran Church, Spokane Valley, Washington. Family would like to thank his faithful friend and pastor, Robert List, his many caregivers at The Good Samaritan Society who treated him with great love and respect, and his Gethsemane Church family. Family requests that in lieu of flowers memorials be given to the CLC Mission fund through Gethsemane Lutheran Church, 11315 E. Broadway Avenue, Spokane Valley, Washington or a charity of your choice.

My favorite memory of Uncle Arvid is filled with gratitude. When my father Lloyd Greeley was in hospice care, Arvid came to visit. With as much confidence as that the sun would rise the next morning, Arvid talked to my father that he would be in Heaven soon, as we all will be at some time. The peace and comfort I saw on my father's face is a memory I will treasure. Thank you, Uncle Arvid, for your ministry and friendship given to my father.

He was a great man and raised a wonderful, loving, and caring son. He was proud of you and you of him and the beautiful part is that even though you may have disagreed on points, you still respected each other and I know you honored your dad, he loved you and he knew without a doubt that you loved him. HIs life was a blessing to so many and he will be remembered for a very long time. I know he will be missed by you, your sisters and relatives and so many people who you will never know, he touched so many lives. He is whole and healthy and happy now. This may be trite but it is true and I believe it.

So "over-used" the saying of 'thoughts and prayers' so, I shall say, "Inner private meditation for your off-spring."

A Good Man leaves his legacy that lives on and indeed, you did just that.

That is a picture of character. Arvid ran a summer camp for pre-teen and early-teen kids in northern Wisconsin in the 1950's - I remember him bringing down the room in laughter as he MC'd a talent show, and leaving the same kids silent and still for minutes after closing an evening vespers service. Godspeed Reverend Gullerud.
