11, 1942 until December 3, 1945. He was on the U.S.S. Indianapolis when it was
torpedoed and sank on July 30, 1945. He survived one of the Navy's greatest

most. He always tried to help those in need, and gave everyone a hug when they
needed it the most. He loved the outdoors and spent time traveling, camping
and boating with one of his best friends Harvey Park. Dad said he was
programmed to live to 100 and he would have made it but one of life's

Sorenson M.D., C. Wallace          
C. Wallace Sorenson, M.D. 1914 ~ 2005 Charles Wallace Sorenson, M.D., passed
away suddenly and peacefully at age 91in his Salt Lake City home on September
18, 2005. Born on April 28, 1914 to Charles J. and Lois Wallace Sorenson,
Wally grew up in Logan, Utah, where he graduated from Logan High School and
then from Utah State Agricultural College (now USU). He continued his
education at Harvard Medical School, graduating in 1940 with honors. He then
moved to New York City for internship and residency in Internal Medicine at
The New York Hospital. World War II interrupted his training, as he and a
number of other physicians and nurses from the New York Hospital enlisted in
the U.S. Army. They had the remarkable opportunity of serving together in the
South Pacific Theater. Together they formed the Army's 9th General Hospital,
which was stationed on the islands of Goodenough and Biak off New Guinea. This
hospital in tents treated thousands of soldiers who suffered the wounds and
illnesses of war. While serving on Biak, Wally fell in love with Fern (Chris)
Christensen, an R.N. from the New York Hospital who was serving with the unit.
When the war ended in August 1945 most of the hospital's staff returned to New
York. Wally was assigned to further duty in Japan, where he remained until
April 1946. Shortly after his return, he and Chris were married in Logan, Utah
on May 4, 1946. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. Back in New
York, Wally finished his Internal Medicine Residency and served as Chief
Medical Resident of The New York Hospital, then completed a two year
fellowship in cardiovascular diseases. In 1950, Wally and Chris moved to Salt
Lake City where he entered the private practice of Internal Medicine. He
joined the Memorial Medical Center in 1956, working there and at the LDS
Hospital until 1984 when he retired, having cared for patients for more than
44 years. He loved the practice of medicine and his physician colleagues, but
mostly he loved his patients, in whose behalf he worked tirelessly, never
complaining about the long hours or sleepless nights. Wally was diligent in
his many responsibilities in life, including service in the LDS Church - most
recently as a temple worker. Most importantly, he was a wise and loving
husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who was always more concerned about
the welfare of others than about his own needs. He will be remembered for his
optimism, his intellectual curiosity, his extraordinary listening abilities,
his gentle kindness, and his unfailing good humor. He will be greatly missed,
but his influence for good will long endure. Wally is survived by his two
sons, Charles W. Sorenson, Jr., M.D. (Sharee), and David N. Sorenson (Kathy),
and seven grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Chris, who died in
2002, and by his brother, J. Keith Sorenson (Nancy). Funeral services will be
held on Saturday, September 24, 2005 at 12 Noon at the Larkin Mortuary, 260 E.
South Temple. Friends may call Friday, September 23, 2002 from 6-8 p.m. and
one hour prior to the Saturday services at the Mortuary. Interment: Salt Lake
City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Deseret
Foundation at LDS Hospital or The Humanitarian Fund of the LDS Church.
