RICHARD A. NELSON

I worked with Richard at Nuclear Chicago/ GD Searle/ Siemens in the late 70s and early 80s. He got me interested in genealogy and family research, he also helped me fullfill a life long desire to get my Ham license in 1977! I over the years have though of him as he was one of those special people in my life...Thanks Richard for being part of my life.

I just recently found out about Dick's passing when I visited Bethel Baptist hoping to see Dick and when I inquired of him was told that he had passed away last June. It was such a shock. I met my husband at work with the help of Dick while playing cards during break. I was only 20 when I first moved here and had the hardest time referring to him anything other than Mr. Nelson, but Dick had a way of making everyone comfortable. So many stories, too little space. All I can say is that he...

Dick Nelson (as we knew him at work) was a wonderful person, always willing to help at work and with his drawings for anniversaries and retirements of the workers at Nuclear Chicago / Siemens. We will all miss him.

I was very fortunate to have known Richard through a joint interest in genealogy. We were members of a group in Streamwood where he taught us all a lot about research, friendship and kindness. I also knew Helen and she too was a wonderful person. No doubt a benefit of their deep faith. My condolences to you all from an old friend. Christine Marshall Cain
