Quentin P. Almstedt ’61

Quentin, known to all as “Casey,” died Nov. 15, 2020, in Weldon Springs, Md. He was born in Kirkwood, Mo., and came to us from Kirkwood High School. At Princeton he roomed in North Reunion Hall but left either during or after freshman year and ultimately graduated from Concordia Teachers College in River Forest, Ill., then earning a master’s degree in math at Northwestern.

Following four years of teaching in Lutheran elementary and high schools, Casey entered Concordia Theological Seminary in Springfield, Ill. He then served Lutheran congregations in Lufkin, Texas; Liberty, Mo.; Burr Rudge, Ill.; and St. Joseph, Mo. He retired to St. Charles, Mo., in 1997, teaching and preaching until the death of his wife, LaVerne, after which he moved to the Lutheran Senior Services Care Center at Breeze Park. We never heard from Casey after his one year at Princeton, but wish we had. 

Preceded by his wife in death, he is survived by two sons and three grandchildren.
