Charles Nystrom family thanks those who were present with him
This letter to the editor was published today in the AZ Daily Star:
Share the road
Aug. 14 marked the anniversary of Chuck Nystrom’s death on Tanque Verde Road. My husband was struck and killed by an impaired and impatient driver that day. Also, that day, four nurses stopped to offer the benefit of their professional skills. We have never been able to thank these women for everything they did. We would also like to thank the witnesses.On Friday afternoon we decorated Chuck’s Ghost Bike at Udall Park. It is our hope that drivers will see this and remember to share the road.
