Default Sad news about Karl Fredrik Skjaeggestad

Karl Fredrik is a friend of many of us on Facebook. Karl has been ill for some time. Today this was posted on his page by someone in his family:

Quote:
It's always easier with positive updates. Now it looks like there will be no more of them. The condition of Karl Fredrik has become gradually worse, with a few fluctuations in positive direction. Now the doctors agree that he is too weak for legend treatment. He will be transferred to nursing homes for soothing treatment. Doctors say it's a short time. We thank you for all the warm thoughts, flowers and to all who have helped us. We are lucky to have you ❤️ ps-continue like with warm thoughts, we hope yet on miracles
This is sad, sad news and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family in these difficult days.

Default A great friend and top metalshaper has passed away..

Hi all!

We have just lost a very skilled metalshaper who have inspired, learn and also set up many many metal get together events!

Karl Fredrik and his Line have open up their home for probably ten metalshapers one or two times per year for around ten years, and here I talk about really open up their home with beds, food and many laughts, always with a warm and friendly smile and big hug!

The TOP level meets in Karls shop has always been booked to the last spot, many months before the meets year after year.

We have been teaching hungry shapers side by side and I have always found a perfect partner with many creative methods.

Norway have lost one of the greatest influencers at the metalshaping scene and I have lost a great friend.

Take care all great folks out there!

// Per

Sad, sad day. Based on the facebook post I saw, I did not expect it to be so soon.



Karl went by KFS here. He was a good friend to the metal shaping community and will be missed by many.
