Kurt Neilson

I was very saddened to hear that we have lost another valuable member of the local classic car community. Kurt Neilson passed away last night. It took me a while to get to know Kurt but once I broke through the gruff exterior, I learned that he was a great guy with a heart of gold and was very generous. He recently bought me a t-shirt at the Chemainus Car show. It was always fun waiting to see what car Kurt was going to bring to our Sears meets. I chatted with Kurt a couple of weeks ago while he was in the hospital and can’t believe that he is gone. I extend my sincerest condolences to Kurt’s wife Terrie and all of his family and friends. RIP Kurt. You will be missed.
