I have very much enjoyed reading Thor's book. Thor was a great champion of the Port of Saint John. His viewpoint was always very much respected because of his steadfast fairness. Many an agreement came to be because of the respect that all port users had for him. Please know that our heartfelt condolences are with Jane and all of Thor's family at this tome.

Very sorry to see this. Thor was on the Board of the Saint John Multicultural and Newcomers Resource Centre when I was employed there. He was always a great mentor, jokester, friend, and confidant. SJMNRC was lucky to have him - he supported us well and offered so much.

Jane, Alison and all your family. I am so sad to hear of Tor’s passing. What a large presence he was in your lives. I can’t think of him without seeing one of his grandchildren sitting on his lap. He adored them, and was adored back!

Tor, you were the kindest and most generous of men, always thoughtful and always ready to share, whether it was your wonderful smoked salmon or your firmly held opinions! You will never be forgotten by those who loved you and you have left an enormous gap in our world. We miss you already.

Jane, Liz, Alison and families, Les and I are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Tor. We remember all the times we spent with Tor, along with close family members, and they were good times. Hard to forget the wonderful "roast" steaks he cooked and the fantastic lobsters he carefullly purchased for us when visiting, always cooking extras to send home with us to enjoy in Ontario.
Tor was a special man who, along with Jane, welcomed us so richly. His presence on this earth will be greatly missed, but he will live on in all those who loved him. We wish we were able to be at Tor's Celebration of Life.
Our sympathies to you all. Big hugs.
Gillian and Les

Dear Jane and family of Thor
So sorry to see this sad news about your husband Thor. Always loved seeing him about the Port and the Master Mariners Dinners at Shadow Lawn. He had a wonderful personality, loved hearing him laugh. Thor always had his golf cart full of Caesars at ILA tournaments. Sending sincere condolences to you, his family and friends. Sue Keeley

Dear Jane & Family,
I was very sorry to hear of Tor's passing and send deepest sympathies and condolences for your loss. I enjoyed Tor's company and got to know him better in recent years at the monthly lunches of the Marine group at Lily's. We will miss his stories. I count myself fortunate to have had wonderful conversations with him and will treasure the memories of our good times. Elizabeth and I extend our caring thoughts and prayers to you, as you reflect on his life and many contributions.
Most sincerely.

Dear Jane - I was extremely saddened to learn of Thor's passing. I was the Port Captain for Hoegh Lines when I first met Thor in the Port of Saint John. We would often grab lunch or a drink, sometimes to complain about the stevedores (for which I now work lol). My sincere condolences to the entire family.

To Jane and all the others who loved Tor,
He was a very dear friend to my folks Jett and John, in Eastport Maine. Although I only had the pleasure to meet him once after the death of my dad, know that he will always be remembered as a man who embodied what it means to live and love well. Soar high and mighty on the winds Tor. ♥️
