May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I have fond memories of Ole and Norvie coming into Pelican in the 70's and struck up a friendship with Norvie, although we have kinda let it slip, I still consider his family, friends of my family, and they have my deepest condolences for the loss of their Patriarch.....

Norvel lived a life we could all envy. My wife and I, Peggy Reischl, were lucky to know Axel and Bonnie Nelson and many members of the Nelson family. The Nelsons are giants in the fishing fraternity and this beautifully written obituary magnifies their status as real Alaska pioneers. Our condolences to the entire Nelson family.

I remember tanner crabbing along side the Christian it was blowing blinding snow it was miserable! And there would be Ole out on the flying bridge i could see his coffee cup in one hand and the other on the wheel he was a tough true norwegian condolence to his entire family

Heartfelt condolences to Norvie, Barbara and family. Thank you for sharing the story of the remarkable life of this amazing soul.
