Garland Bennett "Chief" Nelson

June 24, 1926 ~ Nov. 12, 2003

A memorial service will be held at Mish Funeral Home, 120 Minner Ave., Monday, November 17, at 2:00 p.m., for Chief, beloved father and friend.

Chief was born in Pernell, OK, and moved to California where he started working for PG&E. Throughout his career, he met many people and was respected and adored by all. He married Mary Virginia Harrelson in 1950 and they had 3 boys, Randy, Gary, and Barry. His passing was sudden and unexpected. We find comfort in the fact that he was not alone, his longtime friend, Paul Tate was with him and for that we thank him.

Chief is survived by his sons, Berry and Gary; their spouses Bhavani and Edna; and his two grandchildren, Brian and Anthony.

We love you Dad, we're better people for having known you.
