Ove Kasby

Ove Kasby (b.1938 - d.2024), of Älvsjö, Sweden. Ove ran BoMac Racing with his brother Bosse.
He started out selling racing-parts out of his garage in Älvsjö, but after a while he moved to Huddinge, where he built an enormous garage.
Ove also ran a tow-truck company from the garage. Björn Wallman worked for Ove, and he lived in a playhouse at Ove's property.
After selling a Shell gas station he owned in Johanneshov, Ove bought a farm in Österlen, Skåne.
He eventually sold the farm and moved to England in the late 1980s. While living in England, Ove's boss tipped him about a job in Africa.
In Africa he met a girl that tricked him into moving to Ireland. They lived in Dublin for a while, before Ove bought a property in Kenmare.
They then moved to Kenamre, where Ove built his own bed and breakfast called Vikinghill.
Until 2011, Ove's only daily transportation was a 1935 Ford Pickup.[1]
Ove passed away in 2024 surrounded by his family and his son Robert Kasby, who will maintain the memories.
