He lived in Saugus, California, at the time of his step-father’s death (George Meyer) in 1987.

Robert "Bob" Lawrence Svien, 94, passed away Sunday, April 12, 2015 at Holy Cross Hospital, Mission Hills, CA. He was born March 25, 1921 to Lawrence Svien and Beatrice Babcock in Northfield, MN. Bob graduated in 1939 from Faribault High School, Faribault, MN.

Bob served in the US Navy during WWII as Gunners Mate 1st Class on US destroyer USS John Craig DD-885 and USS Davis DD-395 1940 to 1946. He had patrol duty on destroyers in the American Atlantic, South Pacific, and Europe. Medals he was awarded included: American Defense Medal, European Area Campaign Medal, American Arena Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal. During his service, in November 1944, he married his sweetheart Betty to whom he remained married for 57years, until she passed away in 2012.

Honorably discharged from service in 1946, Bob worked in Texas at a foundry for a year or so, but one thing beckoned him ~ his love of the blue skies. He earned a private pilot's license in 1948, and purchased his first plane. By 1953 he had become a certified aircraft inspector, and in 1968, a commercial pilot. He continued to fly both privately and commercially for many years, and in his later years was a fixture at the Agua Dulce airport in his hometown, Agua Dulce, CA. During this time he studied and received a real estate license. He then studied and received a real estate broker's license, and opened his very own realty company. He also studied and became a licensed cosmetologist, and opened a beauty salon to work next to his wife Betty. He retired in the 1990's and remained very independent and self-reliant right up until his passing.

A member of VFW Post 6885 and the Moose Lodge, always one who made friends easily and never spoke ill of anyone he met, Bob was so dearly loved by all who knew him and so respected by his fellow servicemen. He will always be an inspiration to those who crossed his path and got to know him. We could all hope to be as good a friend, husband, neighbor, serviceman, as Bob was.

"Rest in peace, Bob ~ we will always remember you, we will always miss you, we will always be in your debt for your great sacrifices and contributions that you have made to help insure the freedoms we enjoy every day. Forever and ever we will always love our Bob."

He is survived by his remaining relative, Carol Watson of Idaho.

Gilbert Sunset Loe was born May 6, 1916 to Gilbert O. and Selma (Sunset) Loe in Grimstad Township, Roseau County Minnesota.

He attended Grimstad school and graduated from Roseau High School in 1933. He attended Hanson School in Fargo one winter where he learned how to repair engines, a skill he used all of his life.

He was united in marriage to Pearl Brinkman on June 21, 1941 at the home of her parents. They lived together on their farm in Grimstad Township for 68 years. Their daughter, Carol Elaine, was born on December 6, 1944.

He had dairy cows and farmed together with his brothers, Manfred and Walter. In 1956 he sold the cows because of Pearl's allergies, and beef cattle replaced the milk cows. Bussing began at the Wannaska Consolidated School district in 1947 and he was one of the first drivers; a job that he enjoyed and told many stories about. While driving school students to Roseau High School he worked as a mechanic at Jackson Pontiac-Buick in Roseau. After more than 15 years as a bus driver he hauled milk for the Roseau milk drying plant until he had the opportunity to work for the Minnesota State Highway Department in road maintenance. He and Pearl moved to Crookston for two years and then transferred to Roseau where he continued his work with the Minnesota Department of Transportation until his retirement on December 30, 1980.

He was a lay preacher and led worship services in many churches in the area. He was named Roseau County Senior Citizen in 1994. He led Sunday morning worship at the Northland Threshing Bee, and was honored for his many years of service to them in 2010. He sold insurance for Roseau County Mutual for 32 years. He and Pearl were very involved with the Four Seasons Senior Center in Roseau; having a new building was a milestone in their activity with Four Seasons. Lefse making and countless other activities at the Center filled their days. He was a lifelong member of Riverside Lutheran Church where he was the head usher for many years as well as participated in many other activities of the church.

He and Pearl enjoyed traveling, including two trips to Norway. In 1998 they traveled there with Selmer and Carol and visited the homes of his grandparents. They also had many trips while Pearl was involved with the Women's Christian Temperance Union on the local, state, national and world level. The farm was always the best place and he lived there until he was 98 years old. In 2014 he became a resident of Oak Crest Senior Housing in Roseau and in September, 2016 he moved to LifeCare Roseau Manor. There he died on March 24, 2017.
