Dallas Lakewood Landing Bartender Roger Nelson Is Dead | Eater Dallas
"A longtime East Dallas bar where the recently deceased served as general manager and became a fixture of the local hospitality scene; staff, regulars, and the wider community have been publicly mourning his loss. The venue shared a 2014 interview with him (the same year he was named Dallas Observer’s best bartender), and the owner described him as a best friend, fishing buddy, and fiercely loyal to family and friends. Colleagues recalled his remarkable bartending skill, his ability to navigate difficult situations in dive-bar settings, and his strong sense of right and wrong that helped uphold the bar’s culture. A celebration of life will be held at the location on Tuesday, October 17 starting at 3 p.m., with ride sharing encouraged." - Courtney E. Smith
