Robert Nelson rest in Peace. My sisters and I used run into you at Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington NJ on Sundays when we were visiting our Mom and Dad and you and your daughters were visiting your wife Carolann. You and your daughters were always so nice and friendly. Sadly a few years ago my sister had to stop driving and we have been unable to get to the cemetery but recently our Niece Jennifer offered to take us and while there we found you had also passed. I hope and Pray for your...

Growing up across the street from (great) uncle Bob in Union I mostly remember him as the 1999 version of a funny, stubborn guy who got all his stuff done himself if at all possible (I think it's a male family trait). It's been awhile since we've seen him since we moved down south, but we kept tabs through other family still in NJ and were so happy to hear that he moved down to Brick to be closer to everyone else and I think it did make him happy. We can't believe he's gone and deepest...

My deepest sympathy to the Nelson family! Bob was married to my late cousin Carolann and it was a match made in heaven. I know in my heart they are once again reunited, never to be separated again. I have missed my cousin deeply and now I will miss Bob as well. May they both share in God's eternal reward and may they rest in peace!
