It is with great sadness for me to let everyone know that Fred Nelson passed away yesterday at the very young age of 71. Fred had lived in St. Charles, IL and about 8 years ago retired and moved to Palm Springs, CA. Fred was the original webmaster of Vacuumland when we launched in 2007 and was known here by "compactelectra". It was Fred along with Charlie W. who originally approached me about creating Vacuumland back in the autumn of 2005.
I along with several others are simply heart broken over this terrible news but I felt it is important to let everyone know. We love you very much Fred and you will be missed terribly. | ||

He was a gentle soul. I had some good times when he came to visit. Some nice memories and fun times. | ||

My knowledge has increased and my vision impressed in more than one of Fred Nelson's VL postings. Even though I never met him, I appreciate his contributions to the treasure trove of trivia on this site. | ||

Godspeed to our dear, gentle and loving Fred. Words can't express the depth of heartbreak and sorrow.
I hope wherever he is, Dan Pontow is playing the piano, Terry Lattz is cleaning and Fred is enjoying his favorite white wine. | ||

Sending a spiritual prayer 
I am so sorry to hear that Fred has transitioned. Sending prayers for comfort , understanding and support for Fred , his family, and VLand members who were friends and those closest to him. My communication with Fred was always positive , and I appreciated the history and knowledge he shared. He will be missed. Rest in Peace

 Oh wow, what a shock. I've remembered seeing his posts a lot from digging around in the archives, and I think maybe recently he was posting too. Oh yeah I remember now I talked to him a few years ago I believe about the Electrolux Model G. He knew a lot about that model. Sorry to hear about his passing. | ||
