My sympathy goes out to the entire Blomster family. When I was a younger man, as a friend of Erik's, I had several occasions to talk with Mr. Blomster at get togethers. He was extremely proud of his Viking heritage, and of his children. And he had some of the best advice that I had heard for his children and others like me as we waded our way into adulthood. He will truly be missed.
