A special person, a great Mason, and a good friend. Nelson will be missed, but I trust he will be amongst us, although in other plans. May the GAOTU bless his soul.

I'm sorry I missed Bro. Nelson's funeral. He was my first guest speaker when I started the Downtown Masonic Luncheon in 2002. He was very open, caring and had a vision of masonry that I respect and thank him for.

Bro. Nelson was a great mentor to me through his writing and benevolence. I am sure his good works will continue but he will be greatly missed.

Brother, you have forever laid down the working tools of life. May the record of your life be as spotless as that Apron you were once given. Finally, when you naked spirit stands alone , before He Who Reigns as Judge Supreme, may it be your portion, my Brother, to hear those welcome words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the Joys of thy Lord"

Br. Nelson exemplified the Helping Hand of Freemasonry. His charitable works are legion; in addition, he seemed to have time for younger Masons who needed guidance and/or direction. He was a virtually tireless warrior in the trenches, often staking out positions that the "powers-that-be" didn't like. That didn't stop Nelson! I only met him once, in Indianapolis; but, he made a very strong and lasting impression. He will be missed. RIP Brother Nelson

The World of Freemasonry is vastly richer since Brother Nelson sojurned amongst us. He will be fondly remembered, especially by the first generation of "cyberM@sons". Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again. S.M.I.B.

Dear Ellen, Vicki and Family:
Words fail me in trying to convey my sense of loss with Bro. Nelson's passing. He was a Brother, a mentor and a friend. And to so many Masons around the world, our conscience to do what is right. We will all miss him.
He and you are in our prayers and thoughts at this trying time. God has given him rest, may he send you solace.

Fairwell my Brother, I know God will keep you close, after all your great work here on earth. Now you are at peace and out of pain. Fraternally D. Brian Monkman, (Winnipeg, MB.)

A giant of a man, a rare person, rare even amongst Masons, one who embodies all that we prize in our Brotherhood, a true Brother who gave more of himself than he ever received.

From the GAOTU we have come; surely to the GAOTU is our final return. Through ups and downs, differences and and joys, life and death, friendship endures.
May Ellen, Vicki, and Rachel have certitude that he and they are loved by his Brethren, and "that He Who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb looks down with infinite compassion upon the widow and fatherless in the hour of their desolation; and that the Great Architect will fold the arms of His love and protection around those who put their trust in Him."
So mote it be.

It was my loss that I never had the opportunity to meet Brother Nelson in this life. It is my hope that this will change when he and I have a chance to meet on another plan. My hopes and prayers are with his family that they may know how much he will be missed by his beloved Fraternity.

Nelson was truly a credit to Masonry and a gentleman. When you hand a conversation with him and a look of wonderment appeared on your face he would take the time to instruct you into understanding.

Nelson is the personification of the North East Angle. Our Brother exercised that virtue which justly denominates the distinguishing characteristic of a Mason’s heart. He practised charity daily and as charity has the approbation of Heaven and Earth he is blessed as he cheerfully embraced that virtue.
Rest in peace my Brother.
