Richard Nelson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Rick was an experienced welder and worked at several manufacturing companies until he
retired.
Rick's favorite pet was a doberman pincher named Michelob although he loved all animals. He also enjoyed family get togethers, card games and collecting old movies. Rick had a smile for almost everyone he met.
Rick was a confirmed bachelor yet he was a dedicated godfather, uncle and family man. Rick is survived by his three siblings including Gayle P Kouba, Gary D (Lynn) Nelson and Wendy E (Vince) Desecki. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Rick is preceded in death by his father Charles S. Nelson, mother Vivian C. Nelson and brother Terry R. Nelson.
Interment will be private.
