This is the hardest thing I have ever had to write, but I must. With heavy hearts, we share that Niels passed away on April 14, 2025, after a courageous 20-year battle with cancer and its many challenges.
He leaves behind a remarkable legacy—his three grown children, their wonderful spouses, eight beloved grandchildren, and his devoted wife of 46 years. Niels was a loving husband, father, and grandfather whose presence will be deeply missed.
We take comfort in knowing you are pain-free, drinking coffee and watching soccer.
To all who knew him: if a smile crosses your face when you think of Niels, know that it is the greatest tribute you can offer.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Kerry and Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.
I still have fond memories of talking golf stories with Neils in Smitty’s.
Sincerely,
Dear Kerry, though we have not seen each other for a long period of time I have often thought of you. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know I am holding you close in my thoughts and I am sending you much love.

Rest in peace . We had not seen each other for a long time. We exchanged messages not long ago on facebook.
I knew Neils in our days in the restaurant business.
My condoleances to your entire family
Dear Kerry and family,
We have wonderful memories of enjoying so much fun with you both and of course with your amazing kids who we were so lucky to know in their school years. We are thinking of you all at this sad time. A wonderful man.

Dear Kerry,
I’m so sorry to hear the news that Niels has passed. Thinking of you.
Dear Kerry and family,
I was so sorry to hear this news when he passed, and you have been in my thoughts since then. I have no words to take away your pain, but hope knowing he is no longer suffering, and the wonderful memories, will ease your loss.
Dear Kerry and Family – Condolences to you all. So many lovely memories of Niels. One that brings a smile to my face is of him making and sharing his famous Danish Pickles for Family and Friend Dinners which he shared the recipe with me so many years ago. He will be missed by all.
I have the biggest smile remembering Niels
Condolences to you and your family
