Willis (Bill) Andrew Jorgenson went to be with our Lord on December 2, 2007. He was born October 5, 1920 in Havre, Montana, growing up in Blairsburg, Iowa.

Bill met and married his beloved wife, Yvonne (Svenson) in nearby Webster City, Iowa, before moving to Scottsdale, Arizona to raise his family. He was co-founder/partner of valley Transportation of Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tucson, later becoming Valley North American Van Lines.

Bill is survived by his sister, Jorene (LeRoy) Larson, sons, Bob, Jon (Les Ann), Grant (Deena), and David (Patty), grandchildren, Sarah, John, Michael, and Sean, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Yvonne.

Bill loved the great outdoors, hiking, and taking numerous road trips around the state with his family and dogs. The focus of his life was his wife, sons, grandchildren, and his church. Bill’s gentle and caring personality will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

A private memorial service will be held Dec. 16 at 2 pm for immediate family and friends.
