Gunnar Lang-Ree Obituary
Greece - Monday April 6, 2020 at the age of 85.
He was first and foremost a dedicated and loving family man who will be sorely missed.
Gunnar is survived by his son, Bjorn (Anne Pierok); daughter Anita; Elsa Lang-Ree; Wilma Olsen; many nieces and nephews in Norway. He is pre-deceased by his parents Einar (Galgum) Lang-Ree and Olave (nee Viker); brother, Knut (Karen Dalsveen).
Born April 25, 1934 on his family farm outside Harmar, Norway, Gunnar grew up during the WWII occupation, earned his engineering degree at the Institute of Koping Sweden, and emigrated to America in 1962 with his wife Elsa, and son Bjorn. They settled in Baltimore, MD where daughter Anita was born. He worked most of his years as an engineer with Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and later moved with his family to Rochester, NY to work with General Railway Signal Company (GRS), from which he retired in 1999.
In retirement Gunnar stayed active traveling, socializing with friends, skiing with the "old fogies", enjoying the Funraisers social club, and making beautiful furniture in his woodworking shop.
