Older brother Mike: severely retarded, died 2016. Sister Rose retired 2014 after teaching deaf kids for 32 years in Tucson, Arizona. Brother Rudy retired from mixing paint and lives next door to sister Rose. I got married in 1982 to Kristina. We hired Kristina’s daughter, Lilian, in 1994. Lilian has three boys: Thor, Lars and Magnus. We went swimming every week for many years. Thor and Lars have both worked in the office figuring out our hardware and software.
