What does the Joy of the Lord look like? David Nielsen. For anyone who has met the man, for whatever length of time would experience it. Known as MR. Excellante here at the office, because of his outstanding positive attitude. He also bore another character of our Father he had the Peace that passes understanding. Don't get me wrong he had his moments, but you couldn't keep him down. See that smile, you gotta love it. The thing about a man like this is that he has a wonderful legacy of Joy, Peace and Love that his friends and family will continue to cherish and hold on to. Selah
