My sympathies to the Jorgensen family. I'm so very thankful to have known Bill and Doris. He and I had a special friendship while they lived at Sunset Manor as I was a new "Navy Mom". He would always ask how my sailor was and let me know he prayed for him. I've often thought of him and sent a prayer as well. God bless you all.

Our sympathies to the family. We knew Bill at JCC church for many years. He was always so friendly and interesting to talk with. We last visited with him at Aurora Ponds when we first checked out various retirement homes for Jim's dad a few years back. He remembered us and gave us a tour and we talked about old friends we knew. We will remember him as a gracious and dedicated servant of God.

Sincere sympathy to the Jorgensen family. I was one of Bill's pastors at Newhall. We had many good talks at the church and occasionally over lunch. Having also served in the Navy, we would always have some "sea" stories to share. His faith was genuine and visible in the way he lived his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
