He leaves two brothers, Herman Sorensen and Fred Sorensen of Nevada and four sisters, Mrs. Oscar Strine of Winter Garden, Fla., Mrs. Herbert Shearman and Mrs. Mont Hansen of Nevada and Mrs. Herman Gunder of Flushing, Long Island, N. Y.

The large number of relatives and friends in attendance at the funeral service was evidence of the respect and affection in which the deceased was held.
