Gunnar Wennerberg

I was sorry to hear of Gunnar's passing. Although I lost touch with him since he and I left Measurex I always looked on him as a friend and mentor. He was always had a way of putting things in perspective. I remember one time when everything was absolutely chaotic; he told me a story of his time at Lear. He said when there was a problem Lear himself would have people rushing in all directions doing different things, just like a dish washer, water flies in all directions but the result is...

The Sarkissians met when Gunnar was a dashing young engineer fresh from Sweden (51-52?) He was enthusiastic about the opportunities in America and the friendliness of USA citizens and his neighbors on Chautauqua Blvd., Pacific Palisades, California. He gave glug parties at Christmas mixing various liquors and spices in a bowl, mixing them with a sword (a carving knife substituted) and setting it afrie. Neighbors packed into the patio to share the brew jostling each other and enjoying...

Tribute to Gunnar Wennerberg

I met Gunnar in August of 1975, and he was at least partially
responsible for Measurex hiring me. Gunnar at that time was one of
three group leaders in the Sensor Development Department, and was one
of the two leaders that interviewed me. (The third leader, John
Howarth was away at the time.) Gunnar and I got along fine, and very
shortly Measurex offered me a position and I was assigned to work in
Gunnar's Caliper Group. My...

I will always remember how much Gunnar cared for my mother Gerda. What an amazing relationship-go figure!

Gunnar, my father-in-law, was very much the engineer. And yet, he doted on his family and his grandkids and was a devoted family man. He will be missed by all of his engineering friends and by all of his family and extended family. It is truly heart-warming to read about all those he touched. I'm so glad to have known him for so long.

A few memories - First, I enjoyed long conversations with him about technical things, which he loved. His intelligence as well as his enthusiasm for...

The first time I met Gunnar was back in the 70’s when his dear daughter Monica and I were fast becoming life-long friends. Gunner showed me this tubular contraption he invented which circulated air from the ground up to the ceiling. Or, was it the other way around? It had some little light that propelled a heat-driven fan. I was in awe. Over the years I have know this incredible man, he has never ceased to awe me…..with his inventions, crazy stories and his lust for life. His legacy will...

I am amazed and touched by everyone's warm thoughts and memories. Thank you. Dad truly touched us in so many ways. I will always remember as a small child riding on Dad's shoulders above my older sibs and getting the best view of all. Dad never stopped expressing his love and appreciation for family and friends and taught me early on the love for nature and exploration. Mom and Dad never missed a graduation, school function or event and were ALWAYS there supporting me. I am so lucky to...

Inquisitive at every turn!

Energetic & life filled!
Sparkling blue eyes & a brilliant smile!

Thankyou Gunnar for your sharing who you are and for bringing a really cool family into the world with Elsie! I wish I'd met her too. Peace!!

I will always remember the spectacle of Gunnar's flaming Glögg, and how it managed to command the attention of a room full of sugar-crazed kids at Christmas (not an easy task).
