Be true to thy self, seek knowledge, be wise, make time to play, be a friend to the wolf, do not fear death. Find the light within the darkness, use cunning and trickery to defeat your enemies, soar high, discover new mysteries, make every moment magical.

My Sincere Condolences
I met you at the Port of Hueneme in the early 90s. You were a C/L driver that day. I was all happy I met Leif Garrett’s Dad
RIP Mr Nervik

Wow, funny how my mom died 2 years ago, and I'm finding out you passed away too. I wish we had met, after all you and my mother dated for quite awhile before I was born. Hope you two see each other on the otherside, she always had fond memories, like you trying to get a Christmas tree on plane to bring to her, or your kids hamsters, that you had her take care off, when Carolyn wouldn't let them keep them...the adventures in film and Disneyland. RIP

Mr. Nervik thank you for your contributions to this life. As an acting talent who graced our screens, and as a human. For contributions large and small, for lessons you helped others learn, for wisdom you helped others gain. Thank you for gifting Humanity with your children - Leif who is truly a beautiful human and will go down in American History as one of the biggest stars weve ever known, who will go on to be a light and inspiration for so many as he shares his story; and for Dawn Lyn who gifted us with her humanity and talent and is one of the most well known child actors of the 20th century. Bon voyage on the next phase of your journey. God Bless Your Soul. May you rest easy.
