Lennart Ostberg Obituary
Lenny Ostberg, 77, of Vacaville, passed away on Oct. 23, in Washington.
He was born in Erie, Pa., on June 28, 1933.
His parents and brothers moved from Sweden to the United States right before he was born and he is the first from his family born a United States citizen. He served in the Navy when he turned 19 and was married at age 20 to his loving wife, Shirley Ostberg, for 56 years.
Many people knew him from his 35 years in auto sales throughout Solano county. Lenny loved fishing and had shared that love with all his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed his weekly poker night with the guys, but, was happiest at home spending time with family and friends. He loved to barbecue and would always try working out new recipes.
Lenny is survived by his wife, Shirley Ostberg; children, Lynnette Ostberg of Stanwood, Wash., Lora Ostberg of Stanwood, Wash., Terrie (Ken) Stout of Paynes Creek, Calif., Eric (Kelly) Ostberg of West Sacramento, Calif.; eight grandchildren, Zach Shewmaker, Leif (Sabrina) Ostberg, William Kinder, Amber Stout, Jesse (Heather) Kinder, Brandie (Paul) Gilfillan, Brette Stout and Heather Ostberg and 11 great-grandchildren.
A ceremony to celebrate his life will be held on Friday Nov. 19, at 11:30 a.m. at Vaca Hills Chapel, 524 Elmira Road, Vacaville, with reception to follow immediately after at Pietro's No. 2, 679 Merchant St., Vacaville.

Dear Lenny,
I have grown up as one of your adopted "grandkids" for years and you always taught me something new whenever I would see you. I loved the talks that you and I and Shirley would have, and I especially enjoyed spending time with you both. I cried and cried, the day you were called home to be with our maker and I still do. God needed another Angel to help him do his work and he chose you. I love you and miss you and I will see your beautiful face again one day.
