My thoughts and prayers to your family in the passing of Uncle Art. The last of the "old" generation. They sure lived long lives. I so enjoyed talking to him more after my grandmother passed away (Martha Edstrom Pearson). I called him a few times to talk about family memories including a recipe for Swedish meatballs. My deepest sympathy to you all.
Fondly,
Sue Rothstein

Heartfelt sympathy to all of my Gustafson cousins and their families. Uncle Arthur was such a kind man...always interested in others. I will never forget how he would always find something that needed fixing when he visited...and then would set about fixing it! You must have so many memories to keep his love going. Love to you all, Cathy (Burke) Lybeck
