Thomas John Nelson

hello Ted and Peter ... We are very sorry to hear the news about your father.

Tom was a great leader and I learned a lot from him while working in the Engineering School at UP. Many fond memories.

Condolences to Tom's family - he was a great friend, manager and mentor to me for almost 6 years at U.P. many fond memories... Rest In Peace.

Dear Peter and Ted,
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mom and Dad were both exceptional people and good neighbors.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jim, Marge, Sue, Lisa, Jim and Jason Van Horn
