JOHN D. NELSON

A very kind man my father worked for him and then my mother worked until she had my sister and I worked in the summer as an office girl. I remember that he and both parents were stamp collectors. I went to a stamp show with his mother as I had a good start on my collection. He came to my father´s funeral. I wish I had known when he passed. I go by where his house used to be all the time.

I've known and enjoyed John's charm and wit for a long time. Our lives are enriched because of his warmth and love. The photos capture his spirit perfectly. Sincere sympathies, Alice.

We met John in 1991. He was one who always had a smile and kind word for all. He will be missed.

John cared deeply for the Cleveland Hiking Club and its members. His contributions are immeasurable and he will be gratefully remembered for them. We will miss you, John, and offer our condolences to Alice and your family

Who knew on New Year's Day that the smiling man in the beautiful red shirt was saying goodbye to so many of us?
What a fine way to remember him.
We all miss you, John, and give our love and support to Alice.

John was a great friend and hiking buddy. We enjoyed looking for 4-leaf clovers together.

John was one of the nicest, kindest, gentlemen I have ever met. I will miss his friendship and counsel. He had a fun side too. Here is John at St Pats Parade in 2010
