My sincere condolences to AL'S wife Karen and your children. I remember meeting you both through a fellow soldier back in 1993 in Ft Drum NY. AL was always a great asset to the military community. He was always positive and displayed the upmost respect towards anyone he met. I haven't spoken to him in a while and was so sad to learn of his demise. Rest easy AL. Karen, I am keeping you in and your children in prayer that God will see you through peace, love and his amazing grace.

I began my military career at the age of 18 at Fort Polk, LA, which was my first duty station. It was there that I met Karen, affectionately known as K, and through her, I connected with Nelson. Our gatherings were always filled with joy and camaraderie. Nelson´s dedication as a soldier and his role as a mentor profoundly impacted many young service members, including myself. As we celebrate his remarkable legacy, let us honor the values he instilled in us all. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with his family during this challenging time.

Sending heartfelt condolences to the Nelson family and my neighbor on Pacific Avenue. I just talked with my friend about two weeks ago he stopped by my house to check on me after I had a heart attack. Alpha will be truly missed and we are praying for you family.

AL was one of the few of my best truest closest friends in my entire life and I loved him dearly. He helped me get thru the death of Losing my mom(2004) while being Stationed in Korea from 2003-2005. I will never forget that! He continued to help many families. You will Never be forgotten! Rest In Peace my friend and know that you are missed and loved by so many! We have truly lost someone really of good spirits and a good man. May God bless his family, Karen, the kids and the entire families in this time of sorrow, and help them heal with this traumatic loss.

I´ve known Al since 1990. We were stationed together at Ft Stewart, Georgia & deployed to Saudi Arabia. We had some really great times together & some really deep conversations. I´m grateful for the friendship that we shared. My condolences go out to Karen & the entire Nelson family. We´ve lost an amazing person. R.I.P. my brother!

My deepest condolences to his wife, children, and family. Al was an awesome friend, he was a great sounding board and often brought me down from the ledge. We met in 2003 in Korea. My heart aches for his children. May God grant you all peace and comfort.
