Dr. Thorlakson’s memorial
service was conducted joint-
ly by his nephews, the Rev.
Harald Sigmar, Seattle and
the Rev. Eric Sigmar, Aub-
urn.
Rev. Harald Sigmar, in his
meditation during the serv-
ice, spoke lovingly of his
uncle, remembering the
many happy incidents in the
past associated with his
uncle.
“I still recall the pride I
felt in being related to this
admired, trusted and belov-
ed country doctor,” Rev. Sig-
mar said, while remember-
ing his own stay in Moun-
tain, North Dakota.
Rev. Sigmar paid tribute
to Dr. Thorlakson’s generos-
ity, graciousness, discipline
and free and happy spirit.
“With his wife, he celebrat
ed life not only by contri-
buting to individuals,
Church and society, but also
by enjoying the gifts of life
to the fullest.
“This I saw and much
more. Grateful children and
grandchildren, brothers and
sisters, friends and patients
have all had the privilege of
seeing him uniquely through
their own eyes, and many
though eyes that he had
healed or clarified. Each in
his or her own way has
