I met Thor when he first arrived at ODOT's, Beaverton Construction Office and became part of Crew 1802.  He always had a smile on his face, a nickname for every person in our office, and was so much fun to be around.  At our newer Sylvan location, I had the office right next to his.  Whenever he was on a Teams meeting it was as if he was holding the meeting in my office.  Thor had such a commanding presence.  I will truly miss working with Thor, he was a great friend and work associate.

Although I knew Thor from before, I got close to Thor through some union matters at ODOT over the last couple of years. We could talk about all sorts of things when we met or over the phone. He helped me with many things over the years. The first time I met him, it was like I knew him all my life. I just had that spiritual connection with him. It was the charismatic and captivating personality that Thor was. Wish I can meet him again somewhere/sometime, if at all possible.

It was a huge shock to know about Thor’s passing. I still cannot believe he’s no more and will miss him dearly. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

I first met Thor at a new employee orientation at ODOT. He introduced us to the union. I immediately knew that his "team" was one that I wanted to be on! Thor was confident, warm, funny, and had a big presence, in person and remotely. He was a strong voice for all of us and strove to make our workplace better.  

Great and kind Mentor who was always willing to develop new generations with the highest skillset for the construction industry.

I worked with Thor on the Broadway Bridge in Portland,Or. for Mowatt Construction. We were on opposing demolition crews cutting out steel beams for replacement. We would start at the same time, identical equipment, same number of support personnel.  His crew beat mine every time. Thor was big, strong, and confident. I am sorry for your loss.  Reeder Rice

Thor,
You are my love, my protector and a great father to Elizabeth, Paige , Brooke,  Tommy, and Maddison.  You welcomed and enjoyed teasing Sophie and Justin after they married into the family and one of your greatest joys was playing legos with our grandsons James, Jayden and Thomas and was so looking forward to our new addition, a little girl Paisley due in March.

The love you had for your family, the love for your Dad, the love for your sister Melissa and the apple of your eye, Elizabeth.

I have been so blessed to have you in my life with all the knowledge you shared, adventures, trips, mentoring, sports, playstation and storytelling. Your favorite subject was "you" and I loved to hear them all!

I will miss the way you always made me feel safe, loved and beautiful.  The hugs you would give (some I was afraid you'd break my back because of your strength) your load voice, your smile, your laughter, your long blonde ponytail and those baby blue eyes. Your prensence was huge when you walked into a room!

You enjoyed your work at ODOT and was so dedicated to it and you loved the challenges.  This was your passion and your thrived at it.  The many friends you picked up along the way.

You will never be forgotten and your legend will continue!

Until we meet again.......our love will be for eternity.

I love you Thor!

Cheryl
