Our deepest sympathy in the loss of a wonderful brother. We will always remember the memories of the steam engine show in Edgar. The biggest surprise of our 50th wedding anniversary was you being there. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with the family. All our love!

Uncle Charlie was an awesome uncle and godfather. The steam engine show was always a fun time for the Nelsons just because the whole family gets together and everyone can hear the boys talk for miles around!!! I could always tell when they were at my parents house because you could hear them clear across the cornfield. He is going to be dearly missed. My heart and prayers are with you now and forever..

Aunt Judy and family,
My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle Charlie was a great man. I have such great memories of him. Mostly the time you two came home for the 50th anniversary party! What a great time. All the memories of the steam engine show in Edgar. All the Nelson brothers in one camper. And who can forget the purple shorts! There had to be stories to tell there. There is nothing but great memories of Uncle Charlie. He will be missed! Love all of you!
