I doubt anybody could ask for a better college roommate, a better best man, or a better friend. I am sure it is hard to lose such a beautiful presence in your life. I am sorry for your loss.
So surprised to come accross this online. Rune was good to me and I enjoyed my time working for him, Kristina, and Nikolas after Lynette passed. He was a great dad to those kids. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
