It was a year ago, October 10th, 2006 that my Grandpa, Maurice Scott Syverson, lost his valiant battle with cancer. I wanted to repost his Obit.
Commander Maurice Scott (Sy) Syverson (USN retired) passed away October 10, 2006. He was 78 years old. Sy was born on April 14, 1928 in Ormsby, MN to Myron & Gilma Syverson. He was a graduate of St. James High School (MN) in 1946 and joined the Navy that same year. On leave from the Navy in 1951, he married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Jean Koester of St. James, MN beginning a journey of 55 years together. During his 30 year Naval career, Sy was awarded the Bronze Star Medal (with combat V); Navy Achievement Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with 4 bronze stars and other distinguished medals. They had 4 children; Paul, Carol, Kris & Luke; 11 grandchildren & 2 great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his father Myron, his brother Jimmy, and his sisters Pat & Barbara.
Funeral service with military honors will be held at First Lutheran Church of Kennewick at 11 AM on Monday, October 16, 2006. Reception will follow in Fellowship Hall.
I miss Grandpa very much and today is going to be hard for me and my family. However I rejoice in the fact that Grandpa is in more pain and is up with the Lord. I wanted to take this time to thank everyone for helping me get through the tough period of time that was my life this time last year. Thanks for your love and support. I love each and everyone one of you. :ghug:
I love you and miss you very much Grandpa! :crybye:
In Loving Memory of
Maurice S. Syverson
