Condolence: I again wish to express my sincere sympathy in the loss of your dad. The pastor had a wonderful message followed by Sue's tribute to Bob! That is not an easy thing to do but you spoke from your heart.

My dad and Bob go back many years from the Breakfast Optimist Club to the many fishing trips in Canada! How wonderful that Scott and David took him back to the lodge last spring.

May you hold dear in your heart your treasured memories.

Condolence: It is was with disappointment that learned of Bob's passing.

However it is with happiness that remember the time we spent with Bob and his family.

We me Bob through fishing, up at Nagagami Lake in Ontario Canada. It was a place Bob really enjoyed, it made him smile relax and connect with his family.

Bob was a good fisherman but I believe a better artist. He liked to carve fish and he'd bring us up a work of art to hang on the wall. Our kids thought they were real fish!!! They now understand that they were memories carved in wood.

After a couple fish that Bob gave us I decided that it was time to understand how he produced them.

We made time for a lunch at the Ruby Creek Inn and then ended up at the House on the River. The Lunch turned into a day.

Got a tour of the house/property, his life long projects, to share his love of the woods and keeping his family close. I got to see his love for his deer, his blind, his freezer, with precise portions of venison. He took his health seriously and worked at it though diet and exercise.

As time went on we saw time take its toll, but Bob's passion for this family and the out of doors never changed.

Bob had a sparkle in his eye and a smile on his face the last time we saw Bob last August. That is the way he was an how we remember him.

Condolence: My prayers go out to you all. Rich

Condolence: Dave,

Diane and I send our deepest condolences. I lost my dad at the age of 88 and it was the worst experience of my life so believe me I know what you are going through. To lose both parents is a short period of time is really tough. Our prayers are with you you.

Condolence: We will always have fond memories of Bob and all the wonderful things we experienced when we were together. Bob was always gentle and kind and will forever have a place in our hearts.
Love the entire Nielsen family,
Ernie and Seconda

Condolence: My sincere and deepest sympathies to Dave and the Nielsen family. Your beloved is now at peace. The legacy left behind is a proud and lasting memory.
