NAUNDORF, Martin
January 3, 1943 – June 2, 2023
A Successful Man
Author Unknown
“That man is a success – who has lived well, laughed often and loved much;
who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who leaves the world better than he found it;
who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it;
who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had.”
On June 2, 2023, Mr. Martin Emile Naundorf of St. Paul passed away unexpectedly at the age of 80 years. Left behind to grieve his loss are his children, Cheryl Naundorf, Daryl (Stephanie) Naundorf, Cindy (Roland) LaCroix & Janet (Gerald) Fontaine; his precious grandchildren, Lily, Holly, Mason, Ava, Adam, Lauren, Grace, Jackson & Jillian; and his treasured extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his cherished wife, Esther; his parents, Otto & Hertha; 2 sisters, Freda (Lester) Dahlstedt & Trudy (Jack) Kinderman; nephew, Dennis Dahlstedt; mother- & father-in-law, Henry & Elizabeth Haraba.
Martin was a man of few words, a man of honour. He wore his heart on his sleeve and took great pride in his family. He was a longstanding, dedicated volunteer in the community who worked tirelessly in an effort to help people and make their lives better. He believed that every day we are blessed with a sunrise and a sunset, and that a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love is all you need.
