Sorry to hear that your father has passed. I only have good and pleasant memories working with him and your family.
Dear John Jr Was saddened to see the loss of dear Jorgen! It has been so long since we have seen each other. I will always cherish the FUN days I had working at the Viking with all of the Maegaards, I have often thought and can still picture GRANDPA Magaard going up and down the stairs and him saying “saukabla”(?) Had many laughs and fun times together! I seldom get to Lethbridge but always drive by the VIKING and think of you all! My sincere condolences to you and the rest of the families. ❤️ one of the old employee of the Viking days Aiko Sakurai
