Dearest Leif, Always and Forever. Your pictures are still everywhere and I enjoy them and the memories. I visited a psychic in Brooksville and was so happy when she said you were there. I was wearing the necklace you gave me and she said you noticed it. That made me feel so good. Loving you always!

My dear "little brother" I would always laugh to myself when I called you that, considering your physical stature. Your presence was so powerful today, I miss you so much Leif. Whenever I play On an Island I think of you and Linda in Bermuda on your honeymoon you were so happy!!I picture you and Linda dancing half of the night to that Pink Floyd CD I gave you as part of your wedding present and you told me that you guys had actually danced half the night to that CD on your wedding night. Jeg elsker deg!

He will forever be missed. There isn't a day goes by I wish he was still with us. He was my father first but he was so much more than that. He was my best friend, my mentor, my wisdom and my hero. He left way to early. I guess Odin had more important plans for him on a different realm. There are just so many times I wish he could be here just to have a conversation with him. There was always comfort in this sleeping giant.

How lucky i was to have known you leif, and how happy i was that you finally found the love of your life, lynda and had the happiness you SO deserved for a few short years. Sometimes its hard to understand why god takes the special ones first and leaves the "thorns" behind that have nothing to give others in life, like you did. We just have to trust that he has his reasons but its hard when he takes someone like you. You will be missed greatly and never forgotten. Your friend Barbara

For anyone that ever had the pleasure of meeting Leif, you will have the sorrow of losing Leif. He was a wonderful, delightful person to share time with. Our hearts go out to his children, siblings, Mother and most of all my friend Lynda, his beloved wife and soulmate. We wish they could have had more time together.

I'm grateful for our last visit and that I had the opportunity to know Leif and see my mother's happiness with him. It was "easy" between them and that is a wonderful quality of a deep and abiding love between people. It's a gift that can never be taken, or transformed-only held close to the heart and appreciated.
My condolences to the children and other members of the family, my prayers are with all of you.

To a great man. Leif, thank-you for the love and happiness you brought into Lynda's life. We knew she was so in love the days she had with you. You made her laugh, love, and enjoy life to the fullest. Many of us will never even have an opportunity to experience such a bond. Your hearts will be together forever.
God bless.

I was shocked to hear about Leif beeing ill. Even more shocked to hear the sad news when my dear brother passed away. We lived so far apart and therefore rarely met. But the memories are dear to us.

The lot of us here in Norway feel greatful for the time we had together. I'm especially greatful for the time you, Roy and I spent together, in Bergen, Haugesund and on the sailboat. The UFO site, the viking houses and museum. Kjetil's cabin... We had a good time, didn't we Leif?

We'll always remember your big heart Leif, my mom Britt misses your good hugs.

All our love goes to the family left with tons of greef and memories. Positive focus, stay strong vikings.

Lots of love and compassion from your family in Norway.
