If this is the Nelson that worked at SCM then I worked with him and roomed with him at a company training course. He was a great worker and fun to be around.

Nelson was a good man that live a good life and raised good children. He was always kind to me as was Pearl. I know he certainly is missed by his family. Until the day all are reunited we will continue to remember Nelson.
