Nielson Families, I have known this family since I was 11 years old. Diane and I were very close friends as well as Judy and I. I spent many nights at their house in Dolores and on the hill. I loved Gean and Bill, they were also very close friends of my parents. I will treasure my memories and send my deepest condolences to the family. Bill was a good man and will be missed by many.
