Peter Wallenberg was active until the very end, although he seemed less and less at headquarters. The fact that he as recently as last week handed over the gavel of the most important Foundation, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the youngest son Peter Jr., commonly known as “Poker” is symptomatic. It shows that despite his age was engaged and had views on the business. Peter Wallenberg was chairman of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation for over 30 years.
Still in the end of last week and the beginning of the weekend was Peter Wallenberg relatively spirited but then became rapidly worse and went to sleep quietly into the night on his farm in Brevik on Värmdö. It is known that he had heart problems.
According to Oscar Stege Unger, Information Officer Wallenberg Foundation AB wants family with two sons, Jacob and Peter at the helm, make time for reflection, arrange the practical details and start planning for the funeral. Whether it is on Malmvik, the Wallenberg family’s burial ground in Ekerö, is still unclear.
– An era is over and it is clear that it is sad here today even though Peter Wallenberg got to live a long life, says Oscar Stege Unger.
