Memories and Condolences
for Richard Nelson
October 21, 2011
Dear Dick's family,
So sorry for your loss. I was one of Dick's hunting/fishing gang and we all spent fun times together creating great memories that we retold over and over, especially when one of us messed up. Dick was usually my cribbage partner and we spent many hours playing cribbage, many hours ribbing each other and time on the lake together trying to prove who was the better fisherman(he usually won). I'm already missing Dick and probably always will. I'll remember him with a twinkle in his eye and his great smile.
Unfortunately we were out of town and did not find out about his death and funeral in time to attend, but he'll always be there in thought.

Dear Kristen,Todd, Nelson and Sophie,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family. Your Dad/Grandpa was such a wonderful man and he was always there watching your sporting events with a proud smile on his face. May you find peace in knowing he is still watching over all of you and you had so many wonderful times together. We are here if you need us.

I'm so sorry to hear that Dick has passed away. I work with Dick for a year and half doing electrical inspection. He was knowledgeable and thoughtful colleague. As an inspector he was able to inject common sense into his inspections and the ablity to diplomatically work with people. His counsel will be missed by the electrical industry.

My grandpa was the greatest handyman,inspecector,grandpa,and person,that I've ever met. He showed he cared by going to the grandkids' (like myslef) hockey games and sporting events. He was never late to anything,and never said no if you asked him for something. That's why I love my grandpa and always will.Love you,Rest in Peace gpapa!!
