Obituaries

Again, there is not a complete compilation, but these obituaries reflect how important at least some people – in conspicuous contrast to official Norway – thought Johan was.

Henry Kissinger, one of the greatest war criminals of our time, died a few months before Johan, and – of course – he received thousands of tributes worldwide upon his death.
