Uncle Sven, I genuinely cannot believe you've been gone for 10 years . We all miss your warm presence, your jokes and pranks, and always , you. Finding solace that you and Aunt Carin are in heaven rejoicing without pain or suffering keeps us going. Found a cd the other day when you used to make music and boy you were sharp.
Sincerely, your brother Ronnie's goofy kids, Anthony and Steven

Uncle Sven was an awesome guy, loved to fly remote control planes, prank, was a great uncle. The celebration of life was heartwarming in 2014. Love you.

When I see a picture oh Sven or hear his name, it reminds me so much of his great personality, his joy for life and the humor he brought to life! I'm sure his brothers and sister still miss him, as do his own family and all of his extended family. RIP Sven!

I was both saddened and very sorry to hear recently of Sven's death. I am a longtime friend of the family and a former employee of the HB Villa Sweden in the late 60's. I know that his family and all his friends are missing him terribly and they have my deepest sympathies. I hope they love your pranks in Heaven as much as we did! RIP Sven!

My deepest sympathy goes out to you for your loss. May the hearer of prayer grant you peace at this time (Psalm 65:2), May God give you strength, comfort, support and peace.

We will miss his sweet smile and great humor. He was truly a wonderful man and a pleasure to know. We have enjoyed his karaoke at the Newport Harbor Elks Lodge for many years. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
