Edward G. Nelson Jr.

My dear sweet friend from St. Teresa Catholic School and throughout Titusville High School. One of the most fun and big hearted people I ever knew, Godfather to one of my kids. Always such beautiful thoughts when I think of him.

Great guy good friend

great guy wonderful sense of humor

I had the joy of knowing "Big Ed" since our days at U of Fl and this world will be less with his loss. The heavens are a brighter place with him there.

On Behalf of the Nelson Family-

To everyone who made a donation to the Andrew Jackson Middle School Music Program, we give our sincerest thanks.

Colleen, Ed, Ian and the Nelson Family,

My prayers are with you always. I know that as the weeks go by the reality of Bud's loss becomes more and more real. I know he is truly missed. In the ten years that I spent with your family, he showed me and my girls nothing but kindness and generosity. He has always been loved by all that was blessed to have known him.

May God give you comfort in your time of sorrow.

TO: Ed, wife and children,

It is hard to find any word of comfort in these moments, but we just want to tell you that we will be praying for you all.

Sincerely,

Willy and Lilly

Ed and I were high school friends at THS and we shared many adventures. I will miss his bright, gentle, sensitive, open-minded, and fun-seeking way. I am certain that he will influence those in his new adventure in a similar fashion.

Colleen, I was both shocked and very saddened to learn this devastating news. My connection with you and Bud goes way back to the early '70s, when my husband Gordon and I had our sailboat docked at Westland Marina. Bud was always, always the most courteous and helpful person we could have asked for, and his friendly nature gave comfort to us all. The boating world will truly miss his endearing qualities.

May it help to know how many share your sorrow, and stand with you in...
