Ev was a sports fan, and enjoyed watching his Minnesota Vikings play along with other teams. He enjoyed being outdoors, and spent many summers camping in and around the state. He was also very interested in preserving his roots, taking many trips to Norway, his family’s ancestral country. Ev loved spending time with his large extended family.
