Not sure what to say?

Still miss playing golf with you. You are the only person who would play golf with me when it was 37°.

In the Senior Club Championship, Chuck would always make me putt out par or birdie putts of 6 inches but would give me a 2 foot bogey.

Yesterday I was just chatting with a friend about judges and mentioned how nice Judge Nelson was. I'm so very sad to hear of his passing. He frequented our Horton Rd. store for many years and was always so kind and friendly. What a fine man. Condolences and prayers go out to his family. May God bless.

Very sad to read of the passing of a great friend. As a Mentor to varies students around Jackson County Judge Nelson assisted me often with recommendations to assist me potentially lost kids.

The passing of Judge Nelson is very difficult to accept but our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ needed him home more than we needed him here. This will be a tough lost for his children, grandchildren, friends,...
