DULUTH, Minn. - The Rev. Joseph Dahlquist, 91, died Sunday (Sept. 13, 2009) at Chris Jensen Health and Rehabilitation Center.
Pastor Joe was born in Negaunee, Mich., on Oct. 14, 1917, to Cecelia (Isaacson) and Carl Joseph Dahlquist. He graduated from Negaunee High School and served in the Civilian Conservation Corps near Newberry and Manistique, Mich. He graduated from Augustana College (Rock Island, Ill.) in 1941 and from Augustana Seminary in 1945. He married Janice Selander of Galesburg, Ill., in 1945 and was ordained into the Lutheran ministry. During his career he served churches in Stronghurst, Ill., Essex, Iowa, Cokato, Minn., and in Duluth, Minn., at Elim Lutheran from 1961 to 1974, and Gloria Dei Lutheran from 1974 until his retirement in 1982.

An avid golfer and bowler, he enjoyed Senior Olympics in both sports and was inducted into the Duluth Bowling Hall of Fame in 1983. Music was his other passion.
