Ulla and Tanja, I am so sorry for your loss. What can I say, I love you, and my memories of both our camp and your camp are thought of fondly. I do remember Hannu and Jukka giving Ken and I dirt bike rides on the camp road, and being terrified, lol. These are all good memories...sending my love and hugs. Carol Chase

Sorry to hear of Hannu's passing. We shared many hours and miles of trails on our mini bikes back when we were young, and after eating delicious baking done by Mrs. Nieminen. These are treasured memories. Lindsay Eade

My heartfelt condolences to the Nieminen family. Hannu was always " one of the boys". Lots of good times throughout our teen years playing hockey, cross country skiing and the usual weekend fun. His '54 Ford was his signature vehicle in his youth and was often seen cruising the strip with him at the wheel. Fond memories of a good and kind soul. Rest in peace my friend.
