Vernon Michael Stordahl
Born: February 26, 1945
Died: October 2, 2010
“Vern” passed away suddenly while enjoying time with his family at the cabin on a beautiful fall day in Miltona, MN. He was a loving husband, brother, father and grandfather.
Preceded in death by his father, Harold; mother, Cecilia; father-in-law, Keith; sister, Janice; nephew, Joe; great nephew, Triston and great niece, Sadie.
He is survived by his wife, Pam; children, Susan (husband John) Nettle and Brian (wife Oralia) Stordahl; step-children, Jeff Whitman and Kris (husband Mark) Sharpe; grandchildren, Catherine (age 12) and Carson (age 9) Nettle, Daniel (age 4) and Andrea (age 2) Stordahl; step-grandchildren, Brianna, Casandra, Brice, Pamela and Robbie; eight siblings: Duane, Karen, Carol, Marilyn, Larry, Doris, Dennis and Jerry; 33 nieces and nephews; 55 great-nieces and nephews; and many friends.
After spending over 40 years as a machinist, Vern retired from Northwest Airlines in 2006. He then attended Hennepin Technical College for small engine repair and used his knowledge and technical experience to start “Vern’s small engine repair.” He thoroughly enjoyed retirement by traveling the world with his wife, Pam and spending quality time at their cabin on Lake Miltona. He took special joy in his grandchildren, spending time with family and of course…the social and competitive aspects of poker tournaments. He was dearly loved and will be missed.
Memorial service to be held on Wednesday, October 6, 5-7 p.m. at Kok Funeral Home, 7676 80th Street, Cottage Grove, MN.
