Knut Strand was born in Lier, Norway and emigrated to Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A., following World War II with his wife, Aase, and his daughter, Ellen.  Knut and Aase had three more daughters in Salt Lake: Inger, Colleen and Jane.

In Salt Lake, he worked for his Uncle Marthinius at Strand Electric Company as an electrical engineer.  Knut was warm and funny and loved to hunt, fish and go camping outdoors.  He delighted in piling us into his latest Jeep and making all us kids squeal as he coasted down the hills of north Salt Lake.  He was a big, tall man who loved his family.
