Our thoughts and prayers are with the Nelson family. Howard was a great person. Always funny, caring and understanding. May peace be with you at this time and always.

Although Howard was older than I while growing up, I have fond memories of him from church youth events, Thanksgivings together at your home, football in the fields behind the house, volleyball in the gym.

I'll remember the smiles, the laughter and the joy.
