ary 15, 2017 in a Minot,
ND, hospital.
Cal was born on April
25, 1936, in Minot, ND, a
son of Albert and Marie
(Weber) Asendorf. In his
early years, he grew up
part time on a farm near
Carpio, ND, and in Minot,
ND. He went to grade
school at Roosevelt and
graduated from high
school at St. Leo’s in
1954. Before attending
college, he worked in
sales. At Minot State Col-
lege, he received a busi-
ness degree.
Cal married Evelyn

at St. Leo’s Church on Oc-
tober 5, 1957. They have
four children: Todd,
Garth, Dawn, and Dana.

grandchildren and one
great-grandchild.
Most of Cal’s working
years were spent with the
juvenile court system in
Minot, ND. During retire-
ment, Cal and Evie spent
their summers at Lake
Sakakawea and their
winters in Tucson, AZ.
Eventually, Cal and Evie
moved back to Minot, ND

years and for the last cou-
ple of years have been liv-
ing at The View.
