The passing of Nils is a sad day for everyone who knew him. Nils was a great example to all of those he knew and especially to the Erasmus students whom he welcomed to the "Norwegian Experience". Nils was a great lover of the outdoor life and he soon adopted the Erasmus nickname of "woody woodpecker". Apart from his great contributions to the Erasmus network meetings Nils will be remembered by his happy, smiling relationships with colleagues and students. In particular he will be remembered by his stories, "there are two possibilities" of which we never tired of hearing each year, and his contributuiion of "acqua vie" to the celebrations. Life will never be the same without you Nils. My condolences to Nils' family at this time.

We all remember him as cheery and really really welcoming, especially the first day we went to Notodden, when he picked us up and wait for us while we were doing the shopping. That stupid fact was in fact really important for us. We won't forget it.

I'm glad you could be with him chatting and he still was thinking on new events.

Courage from now to all of you.

Warmest wishes,

Elena R. S.

Det gør mig virkelig ondt at høre at Nils er gået bort. Han var sandelig et dejligt menneske, og en kæmpe karakter i vores ophold hos jer i Notodden. Jeg er sikker på at han vil blive savnet, og lige så sikker på, at han vil efterlade sig kolossalt mange fantastiske minder hos alle de mennesker han har berørt.- Dem må der være mange af.

Vi sender alle de bedste tanker til familien, og ikke mindst til Jer kollegaer fra Høgskolen i Telemark.

Mange og kærlige hilsner

Christina had the brilliant idea to collect some money for some flowers and direct the remain part of it towards the Cancer Research. It is not much but it's the only way some of us have to feel closer to the family and friends. If I was't in Australia I would have come to the funeral but I hope that something as simple as a flower would remind everyone in Notodden how incredible Nils has been for us. Lots and lots of people all around the world who remember Nils with a big smile and with his Ice Skates on his feet telling us "feels good this pain right? feels like you are alive..".

Thank you Nils, thank you Dag and Thanks to everyone who made 2010 the best year of my life.
Best wishes,
Gianluca

It's a shame how I wouldn't have ever thought someone like Nils could leave us.
People like him just look immortal and it's sad we are talking about this now.

Nils touched many lives, changed many lives, mine included.
Emma started a messenger group conversation and soon we reached almost 100 people to it, everyone with their own story and everyone sharing their own sadness in the group. I don't know much about this life and the next one. I only know that we need some more Nils around this planet.

Emma Montgomery, my Erasmus colleague from England, already spread the word among a big Facebook-group with a lot of former Erasmus students from Notodden. We already shared many great memories of our time with Nils. He was a very great person, we will never forget him! We are also collecting money among us for some flowers for the funeral and additionally we will donate everything whats left to the Norwegian cancer research "Kreftforeningen". Christina Naess is coordinating it.

These news are very sad - I wish I had visited him more than once the last few years...

But thats how life is going...Thank you for trying to tell us all! I will spread it among my former sports teachers who also knew him.

All the best!

This is very sad news indeed. Please pass on my condolences to all his family. I for one have very fond memories of Nils and was talking about him to my wife just before Christmas.

As I am in Bergen I will not be able to attend his funeral but my thoughts will be with him on the 7th.

RIP (rest in peace) Nils you will be missed.

A lot of former exchange students just organized a Facebook chat where we spread the sad news and remembered funny moments, great trips and good conversations with Nils.

He was such an incredible person who will leave behind a big heart, an unbreakable optimism and a never ending motivation. He inspired others, especially us exchange students. Always open minded, interested and helpful with much humor.

May he rest in peace!

Best wishes Kim

Indeed, it's a very bad news. Even if it was 10 years ago, It reminds me really good moments with Nils when we were ice skating or skiing. My experience in Notodden is full of good reminders and for that it's weird  to think that Nils Sverre don't belong of your group any more.

Thank you very much to take this time to inform us. On Tuesday,I will think about Nils and all the team of teachers/coordinators of Notodden.

Best wishes

Nils est venu dans le réseau en 1998 à Strasbourg  sur conseil de Harry

Je verrai toujours cet écolos norvégien se promener dans la capitale européenne avec son petit sac sur le dos.

Je n ai pas toujours partagé ses visions sur l Europe mais c'était de bonne guerre on se réconciliait autour d une bière.

Son amour de la nature et sa conception très nordique de L EPS nous la partagions à GAUTENBLICK près de Notoden . Nils savait nous recevoir avec chaleur et humilité. Merci Nils d avoir reçu nos étudiants et de nous avoir accueilli avec amitié

Je te savais malade mais je pensais que tu étais en rémission ..

Hélas la maladie était plus forte.

Que le Dieu de la nature qui était le tien te reçoive avec toute la gratitude que tu lui a témoigné

Dear everybody,

Such a nice, sunny day – starting with such a sad news.

Nils was an exceptional colleague, an exceptional and excellent teacher, a brave man.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear everyone,

I can't believe I'm writing this e-mail. I think about his family and close friends first of course.

Nils was such a strong person and I'll always remember him as the healthy great friend he was, never tired of riding his bike in his beloved Norwegian wilderness. As one of the founding fathers of our network, he'll always be there with us and we'll go on together on his behalf for sure.

On behalf of EN3S European network which was founded by Nils and his friends Jurgen Schroeder from Germany and Vic Kerton from England, I wish to express our deepest condolences to Nils's family and friends. We all have enjoyed his warm and friendly attitude, as well as his benevolence to anyone.

I also personally hang on to the memory of his unrelenting sincerity and kindness, for I could rely on him any time I went to him for advice or comfort. He has given so much to this network in which a whole lot of friendship and fruitful work have arisen. And he was this strong healthy man sharing his knowledge of the Norwegian wilderness ; so whenever you think of him, that is where you'll find him. I hope I can have the chance to see him there one day in a near future.

Good bye dear Nils."

Best friendly wishes,
Elodie

It makes me very sad to hear that Nils Sverre has died this morning.

I know that he has fought very hard against his sickness.

He was for many years a very valuable member in the EN3S group. It was him who introduced us into "frieluftslieve". And of course we will never forget the "two possibilities".
We will always remember him

It was with great sadness that I heard of the death of our friend Nils, pictured below with Håkon Nils was a great supporter of the EN3S network from the very early days, representing Høgskolen I Telemark alongside his work at HIT and in the sporting community. I confess to not knowing him well enough to go into detail about his exploits, so I’ll leave that to others better qualified. What I can say, though, is that from the very first time I joined the network Nils was instrumental in making me feel welcome and relaxed in this international community. The stories he told with a twinkle in his eye in Caen were only part of the picture of a man I regret not having the chance to get to know better. To me he seemed to display an enviable balance of philosophy, practicality and good humour (maybe those are Norwegian traits!), but I’ve also been struck by the resilience he has displayed for the past few years as his illness developed. I’m sure others will make your own tributes, but on behalf of the network, I do want to express our profound sadness at his loss, our thoughts and condolences to his family, and our thanks for all he has contributed both personally and professionally to those that knew him. He will be sadly missed, I know. John Humphries, Senior Lecturer
