Larry James Neil Nelson

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Larry James Neil Nelson. Born March 29, 1934, Larry passed away on July 4, 2020 with his family at his side. He is survived by his wife of 15 days short of 62 years; his daughter Sandra Mcdougall (Richard); son Randy (Gail); grandson Ryan McDougall and granddaughter Danielle; sister Marlene Adams; two nieces and one nephew. Predeceased by parents Hilbert and Myrtle Nelson, Larry worked on road construction and concrete production. Larry was a kind, fun loving jokester whose life revolved around his family and music. The past 25 winters, he and his wife spent in Yuma, Arizona enjoying life with wonderful friends from all over Canada and the US and playing his mandolin daily!&nbsp; He will be missed for his smile and musical talents by all who knew him.&nbsp; The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Unit 72 at the Rockyview Hospital for the exceptional care he recieved. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.</span></span></strong></p>
