Nels ULSAKER Obituary

Age 76 of Cottage Grove Passed away April 4, 2015 after a courageous battle with Parkinson's disease. He is survived by his lovely wife Marlys of 56 years; son, Mark (Missy); 3 grandchildren, Danielle, Mikayla and Evan. Tony enjoyed fishing and traveling mostly to the north shore region of MN. Throughout his life he has dabbled with a sailboat, two Harley Davidsons and also a motorhome, but his biggest joy was his grandkids. Tony was a real class act. He will be sadly missed, but forever in our hearts. The family would like to thank Sue and Heidi for all their help during this difficult time. A memorial visitation will be Sunday, April 12, 2015 from 2:00-6:00 pm at Kok Funeral Home, 7676 – 80th Street S., Cottage Grove. Interment will be at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery. Memorials may be directed to the Wounded Warrior Project.
