Just found out, my grandpa that I've never met is buried in San Diego, California. He died in a Swedish prison in Leukemia at the age of 67. His ashes was sent to his wife in USA. His name was Bertil Sagermark (1919-1987). Born as a lonely child, his parents was both deaf and mute. He was an engineer and inventor, had a patent for cranes that the social democratic government of Sweden stole from him. He lived in Spain and USA because of that struggle which eventually got him imprisoned. Found an interview. Crazy stuff. He was also a sailor and a pilot, did work in his youth, like flying gold for the emperor of Ethiopia with his private plane. Here's an old photo of him I found from when he married my grandma Eva Lindberg. Hidden adventures! https://blossom.primal.net/0b3a8e58a0e54b2b1c099a67580fd3cb4bdc7ad2fea5e86052d296ffb591e025.jpg
