Below is a copy of the e-mails between my son Matthew and I. Thought it was worth sharing: Hi Matt Dave thought you would like to see this obituary of his Dad. By the way, you are listed as one of the ten grandchildren - how nice is that!?! We love you, M&D Hi M&D, That’s a very nice write-up and I am touched be included as one of the grandchildren. He certainly always treated me family. I love you and I will see you in the morning. Matt Dad and Mom Nelson have certainly always made Matt and I feel welcome. Matt summed it up perfectly "he treated me family". We love you very much and have been honored to be your family for the past 18 years. We will miss you Dad/Grampa! Love, Carol and Matt
