Very Sad News Today....(Kent "Lion Grrrr" Nelson)
I just received a very sad phone call from a good friend who informed me that we have lost another great XJ man. He was known as Lion.
You will be missed by many my friend! Robert |

Re: Very Sad News Today....
oh NO!!! Lion (Kent) was a great guy! I wheeled with him in Moab and last saw him at Fiesta Island for SocalXJ. He was a former Chicagoan and a hardcore Cubs fan. I will miss him dearly. hope he's drinking a budweiser with Harry Caray now.
Anyone know his funeral services date and location?

Re: Very Sad News Today....
I met him in Moab several years ago and my wife and I had the pleasure of having supper with with him at a Mexican food place. He was an individual.
Sad to hear of his passing.

Re: Very Sad News Today....
Damn, can't believe it.
 It's odd. Literally ten minutes ago, I was thinking about Mike O, who we lost two years ago. And now this. Kent's posts were always a fun read because you never knew what he was talking about.  But he will be missed. |

Re: Very Sad News Today....
ya know out of all of the socal folks my wife has met Lion is the only one I didnt have to remind her of who he is, when I told her the news she immediatly cried. I cant say we knew him well but damnit we were blessed to have known him.
