Narrative

Norsk
Det er ikke mye jeg husker av min morfar, men minner finns. Ofte er det kort "bilder" assosiert med lukten av pipe-tobakk. Det er ikke en ubehagelig lukt, til tross for att jeg slett ikke liker eimen av sigaretter.

Han røyket ikke mye, hva jeg husker, men nesten alltid en gammel, sliten pipe.

Fra 16 års alder jobbet bestefar på Moss Værft & Dokk, og der forble han i sånn-cirka 50 år. På veggen her hjemme henger ett diplom:

Med livskraft i hverdagens yrke
du virket for samhold og styrke.
Femti års framgang for forbund og fag
er baunen som lyster idag

Det var ikke røyken som tok død på "han Gerhard", men heller det 5e hjerteinnfarket. Jeg misstenker jobben, som var tung og slitsom med eksponering til mange kjemikalier.

1930 kjøpte han tomt av Moss kommune, og byggde seg hus i Hasselbakken på Jeløya. Der forble han og familien fram til hans død i 1975 - deler av familien bor der fremdeles, i 2022.

 

 

English
I do not remember much about my grandfather, but there are memories of him, often associated with the scent of pipe tobacco. He did not smoke much, but when he did it was always an old, worn pipe.

When he went it wasn't the smoking that did it, but rather the fifth heart-attack in a row. I can only suspect that his work was the reason - from the age of 16 he worked full shifts as a metal-working at a local shipyard, in all weather and all temperatures. He was proud of his work, and to this day I have a diploma on my wall:

In honour of 50 years a member of Moss Jern og Metallarbeiderforening

He got that after having been a member of the local metalworker's union for half a century. An amazing achievement, and all with the same employer.

      • Citation:

        In the 1914 census for the city of Moss, my grandfather Gerhard (Tormod) is mentioned as born on the 18th of January 1904. This is consistent with other records of him.

        His surname is here listed as "Jenssen", i.e. with the two-s combination that the family uses even today. I consider this proof enough that in 1914 it was well established.
