I am sad to learn of Nik´s passing. I worked at Alf´s restaurant at Alta for a number of years and remember him well. I served many a cup of hot chocolate to him and his friends, and was always happy to see and chat with the " wild bunch " ! Condolences to his family, he was a nice guy.

We send our love and sympathy to the Looser Family. Your parents and all of you are true friends who we dearly love. It is wonderful how your mother, father and sister, Esther, are together again. We truly feel they are very close to all of you now and miss being with you. There will be a time when there will be a wonderful Looser Family Reunion, in Heaven, when all of your family will be together again enjoying your love and many happy memories of this life.
Our families have been great friends since 1971 when you moved into the LDS Salt Lake Foothill 7th Ward. I always enjoyed hearing and feeling The Spirit of your mother and father, on many Fast Sunday Sacrament Meetings when they would bear their testimonies. Their love for each other and all of you is so very pure and strong. You are a very wonderful and loving family. It was fun seeing all of you being with our children in church, school and the neighborhood and in all the many activities together.
Thank you for your love and friendship through all these many years.
Sincerely,
Mike, Trudy, Heidi, Lisa, Andrew and Joe Jarvis Family
