KENTH ANDERSSON MEMORIAL SERVICE

There will be a Memorial Service for Kenth Andersson in the Great Hall of the City Hall in Belgrade, Serbia at 12.00 on Thursday, January 27.

Kenth, a three-time Swedish middle distance champion, died suddenly in Belgrade in the early hours of last Thursday morning, at the age of 66.

His daughter Lynn and son Daniel have given their blessing for the service while they wait for Kenth’s body to be repatriated, for burial in Treleborg, western Sweden, where his parents are buried. Lynn said, “Please go ahead, we all know how much he loved Belgrade. It is much appreciated”.

Thursday’s service will be organised by the Belgrade Marathon, with whom Kenth worked for 20 years, in conjunction with the Athletics Federation of Serbia.

The speakers will be three of the original organisers of the Belgrade Marathon –  Dejan Nikolić, Bata Vukelić, with whom Kenth was dining, along with Bata’s wife Snežana, when he died, and Vesko Grozdanić – and the general secretary of the national federation, Slobodan Branković.
