Louis Nielsen passed away very peacefully at his home, on Sunday, December 31, 2006.

Louis Gordon Nielsen was born May 18, 1924, in Blair, Nebraska, to Andrew and Muriel (Stricklett) Nielsen. He lived in the rural Fort Calhoun area until he married Maxine Voss on February 20, 1946. Their first home was near Herman, NE. After 3 or 4 years, they moved to the Blair area and in 1950 to Kennard. They resided in Kennard since that time. To that union were born two children, Carol and Dennis.

Louis worked as a farm hand, drove truck for Kennard Transfer, was a welder at Con-E-Co in Blair and was a mechanic at Keenan Rental in Omaha While at Keenan's he was offered a job at Northwestern Bell in Omaha. He retired from Northwestern Bell in 1984. Louis and Maxine celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last February. Louis spent many days coyote hunting. Fmaily and friends joined into watching the dogs run and hearing them howl during the chase. Louis was involved in and loved stock cars for many years. He was a super mechanic and could hear a problem with a motor. He was a man of perfection. He knew how things should be done and expected it to be done that way! He restored and showed his little Broncos at car shows and received several trophies for his efforts. He loved to go camping and get away. They enjoyed many wonderful trips since Maxine's retirement in 1990. Just within the last three months, they downsized and moved into a new home right next to the house they'd lived in for 38 years. He was very content and happy with their move.

He is survived by his wife Maxine, daughter and son-in-law, Carol & Darrel Timperley Norfolk, NE, daughter-in-law, Roxanne Nielsen, Kennard, NE, grandchildren, Amy Allen & special friend Jim Beck, Abby and Ann Allen, Niki Nielsen, Denise, Mrs. Bryan Spilinek, Brian and wife Aubrey Nielsen, Kylee Nielsen, Bryce Nielsen, great grandchildren, Andrew Allen, Brock Nielsen and Kiera Spilinek, sister Jennilou, Mrs. Sheldon Warrick, Blair, NE, sister-in-law, Ann Knutzen, Omaha, NE, nephews Bradley & Kevin Warrick, many relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Muriel and son Dennis. May he rest in God's eternal piece.

God saw the road was getting rough,
The hills were hard to climb;
And so he closed his loving eyes
And whispered peace be thine,
The weary days, the hours of pain,
The weary nights are past.
The ever-patient worn out frame
Has found “sweet rest” at last.
