Although I never knew him as Tony, I enjoyed working with Leonard at Durham Meat Company. He has some great stories, and he always walked around the plant in that white coat and blue hat! Our deepest sympathy to the family for the loss of a very gentle man.

To the family of Tony Nelson,
Tony was a wonderful neighbor and someone I really looked forward to seeing each day as I was taking my dog for a walk. Tony brightened my life and it will never be the same without his cheerful greeting each day. God bless you, Tony, and bless your entire family also.
