Michael Nelson

Beautiful memories of a wonderful man, still vivid and full of warmth, kindness and fun. Rest well Mike, God bless you, with love to the extended family, from the Lowes x

Dear Pat, and family...I heard from Dick Hart about Mike's passing and was surprised, as he was that kind of guy that you never think of his going on, at all! Our remembrance of Mike was his generosity, kindness, and fun we had...Daniel is waiting upstairs for a round of golf with Mike. God Bless Him and you. I cherish all the memories of our times together.

Dear Pat, Tom and Susan, we are heartbroken to hear of Mike's passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and we celebrate the life of such a wonderful man who has brightened our lives; from the first time we met in Istanbul at a conference many years ago, his larger than life personality and warmth have shone brightly for us and although we are thousands of miles away, we feel that we are with you in spirit. We truly feel honoured and privileged to have known him - may he rest in peace...

In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us
to shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Go in peace, Mike.

Dear Pat, Tom, & Susan I was very sorry to hear of your loss. Mike was my godfather and I truly enjoyed his company over the years. He always brightened my mother's day whenever he called or visited. He was a thoughtful, cheerful and caring person, who arranged surprise birthday parties for his siblings and their families. I recall how much my mother enjoyed his generosity and company on family cruises he organized over the years. He will truly be missed by the Nelson clan. Jim Corcoran...

Mike recruited me to join his company in 1974 as Vice President and Technical Director. Mike had a joint venture in Canon City Colorado to recover Molybdenum, Cobalt and Nickel from spent petroleum catalysts. I worked closely with Dale Lesher the Chief Metallurgist and Dale and his wife Nancy became fast friends with my wife and me.
Dale passed away in 1983 after 30 years married to Nancy and in 1986 my wife decided 31 years with me was enough and divorced me. In 1988 Nancy and I...

I was so sad to learn of the news. I then reflected on the lunches we had and the advice you shared. You will be missed dearly and we all miss you.

Our thoughts are with the whole family.
