The CAMROSE BOOSTER, May 17 – Page 25
Gorden Dahl Jorgensen
March 16, 1934 ~ May 7, 2022 It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our Dad, Gorden Jorgensen on May 7, 2022, at the age of 88. He will be lovingly remembered by his two daughters, Lorraine Robinson and Catherine Embury, their families and his many friends in the community. Gorden was predeceased by his wife Gwyneth; parents Holger and Ritte Jorgensen; brother Harvey Jorgensen; and sister Irene Pedersen. Both of his parents emigrated from Denmark to Canada, settled and met in Camrose. Dad was born in Camrose to Ritte and Holger Jorgensen, the middle child of three children. He developed fast and long-lasting friendships in his school years, maintaining those friendships to the end. After graduating from high school and from the pipe fitting and gas fitting program at SAIT, he began to work alongside his father. Holger Jorgensen initially started the business Jorgensen and Sons with his two sons, then over time, changed the name to Jorgensen and Son Plumbing and Heating Ltd. The last name change happened once his father retired, settling on Jorgensen Plumbing and Heating Ltd., which continues on to this day under new ownership. Dad was known around town as “the Plumber”, making service calls at all hours of the day and night. The “shop” was a gathering place for friends and family on a regular basis and many memories were made during those years. Coffee was always on at the shop; you could stop by for advice and you would always get a straight-up answer. While beginning his career, he met his wife to be, Gwyneth Evans. They were married on October 7, 1958 and remained in Camrose, living and raising their two daughters. They enjoyed dancing together and shared a love for the outdoors. Dad also shared his love of shooting with mom, patiently teaching her to be his match. He was such a patient teacher. Dad was an avid outdoor enthusiast with a love for hunting and fishing. He built on those interests by learning how to become a skilled fly fisherman and create his own selection of homemade flies. He always had fishing gear with him just in case he might have a chance to fish. The thought of maybe getting to fish always made his eyes twinkle; catching a fish was never the goal. Both Dad and Mom volunteered many hours at the Camrose Gun Club and joined the Black Powder “Skunk Hollow” Club, travelling and competing in shoots. Dad collected and built vintage firearms and had an extensive bullet collection which for years hung up in the shop for all to enjoy. Upon retirement, Dad picked up a paintbrush and tested his skills making Christmas cards for family and presenting painted rocks with wildlife themes as gifts. He honed his interest in archery and began to craft homemade bows. His creative spirit and love of nature lives on in his daughters and grandchildren. We sincerely want to thank the staff at the RoseAlta Lodge whose kindness and compassion made him feel safe and cared for. You made his transition to lodge living as seamless as it could be.

May 15, 1986 ~ May 16, 2020 Time speeds on, Two years are gone, Since death its gloomy shadow cast Upon our home, Where all seemed bright And took from us a shining light. We miss that light, and ever will; His vacant place none can fill. Here we mourn, but not in vain, For in Heaven, we will meet again. Love your family
