    Notes 
    • Ivan Toso, 58, of Fergus Falls, died Thursday, Aug. 23, 2007, at his home.

      He was born Dec. 29, 1948, in Barnesville, the son of Ingel and Julia (Brusven) Toso. He grew up in Fergus Falls, graduating from Fergus Falls High School in 1967.

      After graduation he entered the Air Force, serving at Pope Air Force Base in North Carolina until 1971. He then attended North Dakota State College of Science, Fergus Falls Community College, and graduated from Moorhead State University.

      He was employed as an auditor with Randall Highland of Fergus Falls and later was employed by The Adelsman Company in Fergus Falls as their business manager for more than 20 years.

      He was a lifelong resident of Fergus Falls, and has been with his companion, Jean Deal, since 1994.

      As a youth Ivan was a member of Boy Scout Troop 304; that experience continued in his appreciation of the outdoors, camping, hunting, fishing, tying flies and traveling to the Big Horns in Wyoming to fly fish. He also enjoyed the mountains, and music, particularly gospel and old country. He had an interest in sports, participating in local softball and being a fan of professional football, and also NASCAR racing. He was an excellent cook - pinto beans were his specialty.

      Ivan retained the support of a personal, spiritual faith from Christian parents, attending Sunday school and being a confirmed member of First Lutheran Church.

      He was a great conversationalist and no one was a stranger to him. He was always a happy-going individual with a sparkle in his eyes and a smile on his face. He especially enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

      Preceding him in death were his parents; his former wife, Jacquelyn Boen; two nieces, Marcia Toso and Lynette Toso; and one nephew, Skeet Peasley. Survivors include his companion, Jean Deal of Fergus Falls; his son, Christopher Toso of Fergus Falls; his daughter, Sarah Kern (special friend Aaron Obermann) of Mt. Iron; a brother, Ken (Judy) Toso of Fergus Falls; a sister, Idella (Murrell) Peasley of Burns, Ore.; numerous nieces and nephews; and Jean’s daughter, Tina (James G.) Lockbaum, and a granddaughter, Khia Lockbaum of Belle Plaine.
