Mrs Sorensen, Chris, Amy – Sending my deepest condolences and sympathies to all. Many fond memories hanging out at your home on Woodbine during my high school days. Will always remember Mr Sorensen’s larger than life personality, boundless energy and huge smile.

I had the pleasure of being on Mr. Sorensen’s bus to Amity. Your dad was always in a good mood, and we would talk about football, or his trucking company. The best spot on the bus was the first row, behind the driver. Your family should be very proud of his legacy and a lifetime of accomplishment.
God bless your family and may he bring you comfort! We have countless great memories both in Woodbridge and up at Sunapee, the Bishop family will treasure all of those times.
Our prayers are with you! With great appreciation for the many fond memories.
