Nelson was one of the nicest people that I ever met, he was so generous, and would do anything for anyone. His sense of humor was incredible, you were always happy in his company. He was very successful due to his undying work ethic and nothing exceeded his love of his family. Life is not the same without Nelson, he is missed incredibly.

To the Chambers Family,

I am sorry to hear of Nelson's passing. He was a very generous and caring person.

Nelson kept me employed throughout my high school summers working on his boat in Marina Bay. He then gave me my first real job working for A-Copy. I will always be grateful for, and will never forget the opportunities he gave me.

With sympathy,

Dearest Janet:

Many great times working with you in the old A-Copy days. Always enjoyed bumping into you around Boston & South Shore. R.I.P. Prayers to you & family.

Janet and family,
It's such a loss, Nelson was larger than life and we loved the times that we all spent traveling together, he made it so much fun and those memories will always be with us.
Nelson is the one person who could make work fun, we had so many laughs, that some days we didn't get much done.
EVERYONE LOVED NELSON...certainly his beautiful family, his friends both in and out of work and even his customers, which is why they stayed with him throughout his entire career.
It's sad to lose Nelson, however, we will always have the happy memories that he gave to us forever.

It is with a heavy heart to hear of the loss of Nelson.

His laughter was contagious, and his smile lit up the room. Nelson was always genuine with his concern of all in his presence and scope.

And there were many of us

He was a kind and thoughtful friend. Nelson was a man all who had the good fortune to know and love will never forget.

The spark in his eye and power of his laugh will be forever missed.

For all who had the fortune to be in his grace, take comfort in knowing that he is laughing in heaven, keeping a close eye on the family and friends he loved so much.

I first met Nelson when he was a kid chasing his brothers car down the hill calling, Herbie as he ran. He had on a tweed wool suit that his mother had to have purchased for him. He was the best in the family.heart of gold, would do anything for anyone
Always helping others, would never hurt a fly. I loved him dearly and thought of him as a brother. He made us laugh for years, there was never a dull moment with him around.
