A fine long life, good for him. RIP Leslie.
Here I am, Grinning from ear to ear as I read this thread… I should be sad, but I just can’t find it in myself to feel sadness when I see that mug of his…
What a great testimonial to him!
n November 2010, Nielsen was admitted to a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hospital for pneumonia. On November 28, Doug Nielsen, Nielsen's nephew, announced to the CJOB radio station that Nielsen had died in his sleep around 5:30 p.m. EST, surrounded by family and friends.[63][64] He stated "Today at 5:30, with his friends and his wife Barbaree by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away."[65] His nephew reflected on Nielsen's life, "He was truly a nice man. A very caring, naturally funny guy in day-to-day life, not just because someone wrote something on paper for him. He was a very tender-hearted man. He was one of my best friends and I loved him dearly. I'll miss him greatly."[66]
