I was so saddened to hear of Nelis’ passing. He was a good friend during the past sixty-plus years and I have many fond memories of him during our misspent youth. I will miss our occasional lunches with Vince and Stan and the late Roger Whitsell. He was a good husband, father and grandfather. My condolences to the entire Simonsen family.
