TRIBUTE TO ASBJØRN AMUNDSEN

Asbjorn1We must sadly inform you that ENAS has lost a dear friend and the life and soul of what ENAS stands for. It is with great sadness we mourn the loss of Asbjørn Amundsen.

Asbjørn had been a pivotal member of ENAS and one of our “founding fathers”. He provided ENAS with a tremendous sense of fun as well as inspiration to ensure that all our clients enjoy taking part in sport and enjoy life. Asbjørn enjoyed the conference every year and was an excellent host when ENAS went to Oslo. He also did lots of great work on sponsorship for ENAS during his time as a member of the Executive Committee.

Within ENAS, Asbjørn was nicknamed “The Viking” and we enjoyed many occasions where he jokingly earned his name and lived up to his reputation as a loveable, funny, professional Sports Director. He will be greatly missed by ENAS. He is part of ENAS history and his gift touched all our lives.

R.I.P. – Asbjørn, you will be our coach for ever!

The funeral will take place Friday 17 December 2010 at Voksen Church, Jarbakken 7 in Oslo. Everyone is invited to the memorial service at Domus Athletica after the funeral.
