My sympathies to the family of Jerry Pederson, 78, of Moose Lake, who passed away Jan. 21. I got to know him when we served on the Carlton County Public Health and Human Services advisory committee a few years ago. He was such a friendly and positive person and was so proud of his 48 years of sobriety. I’m sure he was an inspiration to many. Visitation is 10 a.m. until the 11 a.m. celebration of life memorial service, followed by lunch at noon, Feb. 23 at the Barnum Community United Methodist Church.
Reuben Wenstrom’s Celebration of Life is planned for noon to 3 p.m. Feb. 24 at Rich’s Cuisine Event Center in Floodwood.
