A good man, fine father and husband, with a great Swedish background. Although quiet and reserved, he empowered his family of girls, and the workmen under his metal trade engineering position. Every one of his relatives and associates miss him sorely. God bless.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
