I honestly think about Nils all the time. In my early years he took me under his wing and shared his electrical knowledge and experience. Every day at “coffee time ” he would teach me many things about life and work. A great man I truly enjoyed my time with him.  God bless Steven Mitchell

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Although it’s difficult to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
Thank you to all my family and friends for your support through this time.
