Dear Sherry, I am very saddened to hear of Nelson passing. He was always an uplifting pilot and a lot of fun to be with. I remember a lot of good times with Nelson and I know he will be missed. My prayers for you and all of his family.

Sherry, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how heartbroken you are. I flew my first trip with Nelson in ROA back in Dec. 1975, he was a FO back then. He was always so nice to fly with. Then he met you and the rest is history. You two were so good together and for each other. This is not the end you will meet again someday in Heaven. Until that day comes live life the way Nelson would want you to. All my love and prayers for peace. Nancy

As a new hire I flew many trips with Nelson. Always learned something from him . Remember he signed in for trips by drawing picture of a key. Another Roanoke legend. One of the best.

Saddened to learn of Nelson´s passing. Flew together many times and it was such a pleasure. He was the consummate gentleman and a great "stick".
