In a touching video, staff at Gannett's Green Bay Press-Gazette have shared memories of their colleague, Andy Nelesen, who died Jan. 28; he was only 38 years old. Nelesen was a reporter and photographer for the Wisconsin paper since December 1996. "He was at work, in the newsroom, when a blood vessel burst in his brain on Jan. 25,'' the paper says. Nelesen died 2½ days later.

I can't believe there are no comments for this incredibly beautiful tribute to someone I never met. The memories of this dedicated reporter will live on. I was brought to tears several times by the emotional words of his colleagues.
ReplyDeleteWhat a heart-felt tribute to a colleague and more importantly to a friend. Thanks Jim for providing the link. To Andy's family and those that worked with him, I am sorry for your loss. A lot of people, me included, should take a cue from his tenacity and work-place manner. Truly a classy guy.
ReplyDeleteRIP Andy.
ReplyDeleteI'm just catching up with what's going on here and listened to the video, a beautiful tribute to a beautiful person. My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. Would that we all had someone like him in our lives.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tribute. I never met or heard of Andy before today, but I could stop watching the video. What a guy. What a loss for all journalists.
ReplyDeleteAndy was "a good shit". Respected by his beat for fairness and accuracy, respected by his peers as you can tell from the video.
