John Wesley Nelson

I want to extend my sympathies to you as the Nelson family. I always enjoyed Mr Nelsons' enthusiasm, while watching the Crossroads Church tapes at the Blancs'. I could tell he was a wonderful person. I never met him but wish I could have. I know you will miss him greatly.
Love and prayers

This was my favorite place to be from 1969 to 1973; choir class or anything to do with singing--every school play for example. Working with Mr. Nelson, trying his patience as young athletes were being shaped to appreciate music, understand the composer's intent, and put it all together with the always more talented young ladies--I'll never forget.

I have sung a song every day on the way to work now for almost 38 years; my kids hope it's one they've heard before so they can join...

Such a wonderful man. I still remember how kind he was when I went to school at TC. Through the years his kindness and smile did not change. Mrs. Nelson, Colleen, Bryan and the entire family I am praying for you.

As a freshman in high school (at Pitman) I was nervous to join choir, but very excited. Mr. Nelson opened his arms to me and lead me into the choir with a warm heart. Over the few years I knew Mr. Nelson he became more than my choir director, he became like a grandfather to me. I loved going to choir every day. As my respect and admiration grew for Mr. Nelson so did my passion for choir. Mr. Nelson is the reason I stayed in choir throughout my high school years and the reason I worked so hard...

John's love and enthusiasm for God and music have made him a welcome addition to Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
