He graduated from Royal Oak Dondero High School in 1961 and began his college education at Lawrence Technical University. His 37 year career was spent as an engineer at General Motors. His 20s, 30s, and 40s were enjoyed by snowmobiling, camping with friends and family, bowling, golfing, boating, and working on go carts. Among his many career and personal accomplishments he was proud to say he bowled a 300 game and got a hole in one in golf. His 50s and 60s were filled with the joy of grandchildren and teaching them to ice skate, make pasta and meatballs and crack jokes. Nelson had an infectious humor that brought life to any room that he was in.
