Kenneth, you where the last cousin to my past mother Karin (born Lundberg) and my aunt Brita Lundberg.

We have never met in person but have spoked over the phone for many years. First, I helped Mom and Brita to call you and later you and I spoke  on anniversaries and holidays. You also called when relatives like your daughter Marilyn and your brothers daughter Brita with family was visiting Sweden so we could meet them and had a wonderful time together.

From our calls I remember how interested you where in Sweden and what was happen here. When you find out that we had a second home in the landscape Småland you talked about kräftor (crawfish) the famous cheesecake from Småland and much more. We talked about the Swansons family which I believe was your mother’s family coming from Småland.

I was always impressed over your sharp memory when you talked about your visit to Sweden in the 1930: s as a young boy. In detail you describe places (with addresses) that you visit in Stockholm and your trip to Rönninge where my grandfather Herman Lundberg had a summerhouse and where I live with my wife Haide and 3 of 4 children with families closed by.

Kenneth, last call was on Christmas Eve last year and I will miss these calls for the rest of my life.

Dear Kenneth, rest in peace and I hope you meet my mothe,r you are at same age, born 1923.
