I very much enjoyed working with Nelson in Buick Factory #31. You will be greatly missed at our monthly breakfast. Peter J. Sredich, Production/Material Control. Our little joke: "You'er getting heavy Nelson, I've carried you longer then your Mother, my water is about to break." Till we meet again.

I had the honor of working with Nelson at Vemco in the 1990s. World's best manager and a very thoughtful and classy gentleman. He will be missed by all those who were fortunate enough to know him. -Bob Silverman
