Sorry to read of Nelson’s death.
My great-great-grandmother was a Kneeshaw from Yorkshire, who lived in Quebec and then Oshawa. It’s a rare surname.

My condolences to Tina(John), Robin, families and friends. I first met Nelson at Old Country Rentals when he worked with my father in law and then from SLRA and BC Transit where he worked with Ron. He was a great family man who cherished his family and spent as much time with them as possible. I will miss seeing him around SLRA. Hold all your memories close and he will be with you forever in your heart
