Rest In Peace
Karl Erik Hagström
(Made in Sweden)
18th March 1932 - 7th July 2010
Generous hospitality
|
 |
|
I had the
honour and distinct pleasure of meeting Karl Erik Hagström a few times. He was a
modest man in many ways and never quite understood the interest in his
business so many years after it had ceased production. He always had a
glint in his eyes, he always knew when to pass a question by, but was
equally generous with his recollections in recorded interviews. He
took time to find answers and provide papers and pictures to make this
site more interesting. He was worried about the future of the brand
and the heritage of his former enterprise, but realised time moves on.
His hospitality,
sense of fun, level-headedness and generous nature will not be
forgotten. Now his time is over, we thank Karl Erik for what he
achieved in his life, and for all the lives he touched along the way.
|
This
is how I will remember the man. A wry smile and a joke or a
question just to check if you are really listening.
Deciding to take us Moose sighting - even
though he had to be carried in and out of his car. Then ordering the
driver (me) left, right, over there. No hope of seeing anything, but
we all had great fun!.
A very special man. |
