IVAN E. ANDRESEN, was born on November 1, 1933 at Burke, South Dakota, the son of Albert and Ethel (Umberger) Andresen.
He was raised on a farm near Hartington and received his elementary education in a one room school near the family home.
He graduated from Hartington Union High School and attended Wayne State Teacher's College in Wayne, Nebraska.
He taught all eight grades, in the same one-room school house he himself had attended for three years.
He joined the U.S. Navy in 1953 during the Korean Conflict and served his country for four years. He was stationed aboard the U.S.S. Mathews and saw duty in the Philippines, Okinawa, China, Japan, Alaska and San Diego, California.
His home port was Long Beach, California. After boot camp he attended special training in the Navy's Treasure Island Electronic School in San Francisco. As an electronic technician he operated and maintained the ship's radar, sonar and classified cryptograph equipment. He was honorably discharged in 1957 with the rank of ET Second Class.
On May 22, 1955 Ivan married Lorine J. Lanphear at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in Hartington, Nebraska. They celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary last
May and had over fifty five years of marriage together.
After his discharge from the Navy, they moved to Lincoln, Nebraska where he worked for Notifier Corp. until 1964 when they moved to California where he and his brother were partners in a construction business.
When the recession of the early 70's slowed construction the family moved to Oregon. They bought acreage three miles northwest of Forest Grove, where they built their home and raised their family.
A construction injury to his back brought physical challenges and he decided to go back into the electronic field.
At the age of 43 he began classes at Portland
Community College. On September 3, 1983 he received his Associate Degree in
Electronic Engineering Technology. He was employed by Intel Corp from 1983 until
his retirement on November 5, 1997.
Ivan loved working with wood, puttering in his vegetable garden, driving his
tractor, and tending his goat herd, especially the newborn kids each spring. He
was an avid NASCAR fan. He loved to hunt pheasants in the Nebraska cornfields.
He loved the outdoors and always joked that sitting on his tractor, mowing the
meadow and smelling the freshness of newly cut grass was pure heaven, "much
better than any therapist", he's say. His farm was his hobby and his family his
greatest joy.
Ivan was an active member of the Forest Grove Elks Lodge B.P.O.E. # 2240 from
the early 1970's to date and a member of the American Legion, Aloha Post # 104.
Survivors include his beloved wife of 55 years, Lorine (Lori), his three
children and their spouses; Vicki Pena and her husband, Anthony of Riverside
California; Lisa Bennett of Forest Grove, Oregon; Matthew (Matt) and his wife,
Amy Andresen of Forest Grove, Oregon; and a son-in-law; Brian Blomberg of
California and by ten grandchildren; Brenton, Blake and Bryce Blomberg; Nathan
and AJ Bennett; Madison and Wyatt Andresen; Calvin, Nicholas and Luke Pena; and
by one brother; August Andresen of Fontana, California; two sisters and
brother-in-law; Jean and her husband, Steve Parker of Humansville, Missouri.,
and Shirley Langley of Stockton, Missouri; Uncle Cecil and Aunt Betty Andresen
of Hartington, Nebraska and many nieces and nephews, cousins and dear friends
and neighbors. He was much loved and appreciated and we have been truly blessed
by his presence in our lives.
We will miss him very much.
