I graduated from East High in 1970 and was a student of Mr. Nielson's throughout high school. I remember his infectious laugh and passion for the theatre. I spent more time in his classroom than anywhere else. He was a wonderful mentor and helped me develop poise and confidence. He influenced me more than any other teacher in high school. I have thought about him through the years. He was a great teacher! The photo is of the cast of Merchant of Venice.

He will be missed as will his Christmas Poems most neighbors and friends received from him . He truly gave of himself in so many ways. It amused us to see him walking and reading his book pass our home quite faithfully every day. H

Florin Nielsen was my high school Drama teacher. He was an important mentor and admired teacher and advocate in so many ways. I bless and honor his memory as a nurturer of adolescents, and the foundation he laid for my love of the arts, in general.

What a wonderful teacher he was. He also ended up pursuing further education after I graduated from East High School. We would often run into each other on the BYU campus.
Always such a kind man.
I was just thinking of him, the other day and his performance in our high school production of "The Good Doctor". It was a delightful sketch and good to see my teacher taking a turn on the boards.

Oh this saddens me. Florin Nielsen was without a doubt one of the kindest, most interesting and interested person I have ever met. I had the pleasure of being both his student back in the 60s and his friend at the Mt. Olympus Sr. Center over the last few years. What a memory and flair he had for storytelling. May you rest in peace Mr. Nielsen.
