William E. Salverda

Bill Salverda, Jr., age 90, passed away peacefully at his sons' farm in Forest Lake, Minnesota.

Originally from Roseville, Minnesota, Bill worked as a Water Well Driller with his father and later his son Wesley who is the fourth generation to own and operate Salverda Well today. Bill moved his family to their farm in Forest Lake, Minnesota, in 1959. Bill loved animals on the farm and going to auctions. He enjoyed raising German Shepherds, buffalo, cattle, hogs, horses and crops. We will all miss his quiet humor and stories.
