Missing Nils everyday. He was such a big sports fan. I enjoyed watching the Cubs, Hawks or Bears games with him. He always liked hearing about what the family was up to also. Sometimes he would just break out in song while we were walking or just out for a drive. I will miss him!

Nils was the best big brother ever to his four sisters. He always had a smile, a joke or a song. He was smart, good-natured, and kind. He will always be in our hearts.
