Andersen, Niels Boel
December 11, 1933 – February 7, 2024
Niels was born in Hjørring, Denmark and was the second oldest of 4 children born to Thomas and Remor Andersen.
His family owned an award-winning dairy farm called Vester Dammen (“west of the damn”).
After WWII, Niels was in the Danish Army as a bazooka specialist, part of the post war occupying forces in Germany. He also attended farming college in Denmark.
In the late 1950s, in his mid twenties, Niels immigrated to London, Ontario where an uncle of his had immigrated previously. He found work at various locations. One spot was a brick manufacturer as a labourer. His farm machinery skills came in handy when a fork lift operator did not show up for work and Niels said he knew how to operate it and was promoted to fork lift operator, with a surprising pay increase he had recalled.
While searching for a career he was offered training for drywall taping, and soon discovered this was the type of job that worked for him. Later in London, he started a company with a colleague called ‘Forest City Drywall’ and ran multiple crews in the housing industry.
Niels married Tina in 1961 and had 3 kids, Thomas (Tom), Yvonne, and (Niels) Eric.
Niels enjoyed skiing, hunting, fishing and on a fishing trip to the Beaver River in Thornbury in 1966 came across a small one-bedroom cottage on Georgian Bay near the river which had a for sale sign. With that purchase, the idea to eventually live in the area full time was created and in 1976 the family of five moved to a new house in the location of the old cottage.
Niels and Tina raised their family in the Thornbury area. Niels introduced his kids to skiing and retold many stories of the early days of Blue Mountain and Jozo Weider.
Niels and Tina separated in 1985 and Niels built another house in Thornbury which he owned for many years.
Niels eventually met Jane and they shared many decades together travelling locally, skiing downhill and cross country, and enjoying family, including Niels’ six grand children (Evan, Nicholas, Elias, Kia, Annika, Magnus).
He passed peacefully with Jane and his three children by his side in the Meaford hospital after a very short illness. Fortunately, there were many visits with him by his family over his 90th birthday and over Christmas where he told many stories as he liked to do. He always had a great smile while telling his stories and a bright laugh when he got to the good part.
He is survived by his brother Hans, and sister Annelise, who still live in Denmark.
Niels will be greatly missed by his loving partner Jane, his three children and six grand children, all of whom benefited from his wisdom about life.
