Svend Erik Nielsen

I miss my step-dad so much. He had such a vibrant spirit.

My sweet, dear Svendemand. I miss you so much.

Svend will always be dear to my heart as my first principal at La Mesa School back in 1970. What an excellent administrator! He exhibited strong leadership yet was always respectful of and attuned to his teaching staff. Better yet, what a delightful soul! I will never forget his heartfelt laugh, zest for living and that wonderfully charming Danish accent. Your light will continue to shine in this world, dear Svend, and memories of you will bring smiles to many faces.❤

My wife and I were so very lucky to have been friends with Svend and his wife Dolores in the 1980s. He was such a joyous, uplifting and positive person. His tales of his adolescent life in the resistance during WWII were thrilling. His kindness and guidance of so many was legendary. Words fail me but his heart never failed to reach those in need.

Svend hired me to teach at La Mesa School in 1968. I remember that a group of us went skiing at Dodge Ridge. We skied down the face time and time again til the lifts shut down. He was a wonderful man who loved life. I always remember him with that great smile!

Mr. Nielsen was my Teacher in Marina many years ago. What a wonderful Teacher. I remember he brought his pommel horse to school and taught us gymnastics fond memories of a wonderful person.

Mr. Nielsen was a caring administrator and will be missed by many! My prayers are with the family. Isaiah 57:15

May the God of of comfort give you peace at this time of deep sorrow. He assures us that he cares for us and we will be in his memory. (Psalms 116:15) My sincerest condolences.

I couldnt possibly understand everything that youre going through right now. But, I can understand that losing a loved one must be difficult. My hopes and prayers will be that you receive the support and comfort you need from loved ones. That kind of support helps the grieving process - Proverbs 17:17.
