He was a great super resource when at Camp Cornhusker to help out the with the Nature Center. He will surely be missed by all of the staffers at the camp nd the campers. His memories will continue to bless us all of our lives.

Prayers to Swede’s family. What a great guy who will be greatly missed. All three of our boys were Scouters in Troop 24. . . all achieving Eagle Rank. They all respected Swede as a mentor with the Troop. I valued his friendship and what he did with the Troop and with the Scouting program, including Lutheran Association of Lutheran Scouters.

Swede was an amazing man. He was always willing to help our Legion Baseball Committee at Sherman Field and was a delight just to talk with.

His work with the youth was will long be remember.

Dick,Sid,Jack,Rick and all the other workers.

Condolences to the entire Glover family. Swede was one in a million. Now, taking the time and realizing the impact he had on me and so many other people, he will be sadly missed by all.

Swede and Mary weren’t just neighbors, they were family. They lived across the street from us since we moved in 2002. We didn’t have family in Lincoln and they took us under their wings! Swede didn’t just snowplow his driveway, he did the sidewalks, street and driveways of elderly and pregnant neighbors. He had a special connection to our son, Hunter, taking extra time to listen to his stories of his sports, school and social stories. Swede & Mary’s house was the first he wanted to go to on Halloween, so they could “scare” each other with their costumes. Swede was the first neighbor Hunter “shocked” with his Whoopee Cushion. We spent many July 4ths and other occasions with the Glovers. Even their cat, Sparky, knew he could come over to his second family. We hope the family was able to spend some quality time with Swede during his last days. He was a huge part of our neighborhood and the community and will be missed!

Where does a son begin! My father was my best friend! He taught me so many things that I have used throughout my life. In the beginning it was church getting to know the Lord, than scouting, all kinds of sports, building all kinds of things, maintenance, and of course his most love of all Lincoln Midget Football. He was involved and spent a great deal of time in so much community service that it would be hard to beat in comparison with others. He loved serving the Lord at his church with being a teacher and elder. He enjoyed working with Lincoln Lutheran High School, Orphan Grain Train in Lincoln with the main office in Grand Island, the Norfolk Jaycees, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and donating blood to the Red Cross in the past. My father loved serving in the Boy Scouts of America, as a Scoutmaster, Order of the Arrow, and of course the scout camp. My father was always so energetic, he was never satisfied unless everything was taken care of. Once he finished something he would have something else in line ready to go. My father truely cared for his fellow man! I will truely miss my father! He was such a caring and loving father! I will miss all the times we would do things together, smiling, laughing, and always having a good time! Lord take care of my father he was a great man! Good Bye Dad! Love ya!
