Maria, Mom called to let me know about Bjorn's passing. Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you. Bjorn was a wonderful man -smart, funny and I have a lot of respect for him. I know he'll be missed by you and everyone who knew him.

When you feel up to it, please let me know. Perhaps we could have lunch and a visit.

Jeg Elsker Dig Grandpa

No words can explain what Grandpa meant to everyone because everyone has different version of the same great man but all of them seem to follow the same guidlines. Grandpa was an extremely kind and caring person someone who always cared for others first and himself second, his children and his grandchildren alike all looked up to Grandpa because most of all he was a role model for all of us. He passed away because of complications to do with his heart, but i like to think that his heart had plain and simple just gotten to big from loving so many people so dearly and his heart just couldnt support all of his love anymore. Grandpa ill always remember and love u.

Thinking of all of you and remembering Bjorn for being such a great "Grampa" to my Shaun. He was such an integral part of this family and always believed family was everything. A great legacy.
