Memorial Service at The Unity Centre, 213 W. 58th Street, New
York, N.Y. February 15, 1995. 4:00 p.m.
Carl Clarence Pedersen died February 8th, 1995 at the age of
54 after a long and courageous battle with complications due to
AIDS.
Carl was born in Camrose, Alberta, Canada on July 27, 1940.
He received a Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude from
Concordia College in Minnesota in 1962.
At his death, Carl was a Senior United Nations Officer for
the Environment, Economic and Financial Affairs.
Carl joined the United Nations in 1978 as Counselor of
Canadian Affairs to the United Nations Economic Affairs and
Senior Officer of Aid and Development from 1970 through 1978.
Carl worked for the Department of External Affairs as the Second
Secretary in Pakistan. From 1966 to 1970, Carl worked as the
First Secretary to the Canadian External Affairs Commission to
the E.E.C.
In addition to his advocacy for the environment and
involvement in global warming and climate change studies, Carl
was an accomplished poet. In 1990, Carl published "I Write When
I Should Speak," a 107-page collection of poems.
Carl is survived by his loving companion Dwayne Norman, his
brothers, Eric Pedersen, Paul Pedersen, Ralph Pedersen, Harold
Pedersen and sister Ruth Pedersen Irgens, as well as a host of
other relative and friends. He joins his parents, Richard and
Anna Pedersen in eternal peace
(from the Memorial Service bulletin - probably written by Dwayne
Norman)

Note from Paul Pedersen - there appear to be errors in the above
dates for Carl's positions. I visited him in Brussels in the
fall of 1973 and he was working with the Commission to the E.E.C.
at that time.

Carl's ashes were buried in Camrose Cemetery, Camrose, Alberta, in the same
plot as his father and mother on June 26, 1995. Present at the burial were
his brothers Eric and Ralph, sister Ruth, sister-in-law Jean (Stollery)
Pedersen, nephew Andrew Pedersen, niece Rebecca Pedersen, cousin Svend
Andersen, and other friends and relatives. Ralph and Eric conducted the
burial service.
