Mr Nylander was sweet man. He reminded me of my grandfather.Always a smile on his face. I enjoyed having him as customer at our store. I'm sure he will be missed.

Dave and family,
I was very sorry to hear of your father's passing but what a blessing to know that he is at peace now with his Heavenly Father. May the memories and love that each of you have for your father carry you through the days ahead.

May God be with each of you.

The Family of Paul Nylander,

Eleanor and I extend our deepest sympathy to all of you.

Paul was a special person and someone that I admired very much. He always had his faith at hand to offer guidance and consul to everyone. Few people are able to express their faith, Paul was one who could.

Paul and I first met in 1964 when he was named National Construction Engineer. At that time I was the Regional Construction Engineer for the Midwest. As things work out I later became the Director of Engineering and Paul was then on my staff. [That did not stop him from letting me know his thoughts and providing advice!]

Paul, Lucille and Eleanor and I made an annual visit to the Swedish Bazaar while they lived in Annandale. We still make that visit and think of both of them each year.

You were fortunate to have had Paul with you for many more years than most people have the elder in their family.

Again, sorry for your loss.

We share in your loss, but know that Paul is now with his Lord and Savior. Paul was one of the most Godly men I have ever known. His faith was deep and his love for Jesus and his family was unmatched. May God comfort your family during this time.
