Dick Nyholm has been a backdoor leader in this community for so long this will leave a great void to many. I always looked forward to his visits with my Dad and his words of faith and wisdom. He will be truly missed by his and my family. Just a down to earth guy with a huge heart.

Since coming to town, 1978 - I have always had a warm smile and help when I asked Mr Nyholm. We have had talks about people, life, but most of all we talked about how GOD loved every one-as his Child. Thanks for our last talk just some days ago, he is now held in GOD's Arms of LOVE.

I am thankful for the time I knew Dick these past ten or so years. He was a wonderful mentor to the Masons who knew him, in and around Centralia, as well as beyond. He gave selflessly of himself to be the best Mason and Brother he could be. Thanks, Dick, for your leadership, wisdom and knowledge. We will meet again in realms beyond the skies. Until then, dear friend and Brother, until then, farewell.

Mr. Nyholm was a very dear man that I had the pleasure of waiting on when I was in college and worked at First American State Bank. He always had a smile and a kind word. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

My heart is sad for the loss of a wonderful, and kind man. I have known Mr. Nyholm since I was a little girl and he would come over to see my Grandpa. And whenever I had the chance as an adult I would go into the store to see him and get that great big hug, he always had a huge smile on his face, I will miss those hugs and smile. When my Grandfather passed away Dick was there for myself and my family. He is an angel waiting to get his wings and I will miss him so. We love you Dick

We are so very sorry to read of Dick's passing. We met Dick, Bob and Rich back in the 70's doing business at Nyholms...what a great guy and friend Dick was. He helped Pete get eye (3 times) surgery and it cost us nothing. He was always full of smiles when I'd walk in the door...we loved him..God Bless all of the family at this sad time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. He will be missed. Pete and Verna Gilbert, Rainier, Oregon

I only knew Mr Nyholm through his business where I always found him most helpful in my selecting appliances. He was a gentleman salesperson, I also liked that he still 'typed" his billings. Sorry for your loss, glad to have crossed paths with him. sg

Sorry for the loss of another "good" man...the world is a colder place
without him. I'm glad we were able to have a good visit with him when Cousin Carol Brain was here last fall.
