Nelson was born in Santiago, Chile on September 29th, 1940, first child of the late Guillermo Wrighton and Francisca Barria. Nelson came to USA in 1972 seeking new opportunities for his wife and family, temporarily returning to Chile finding himself missing the American life style, and later on returned to USA in 1990 with Cecilia to pursue his life of happiness together, where they found and made new friendships that help them grow and succeed in the American dream, friendships that exists to this day. He will always be remembered with love and unforgettable memories by everyone that knew him, due to his personal qualities as well as his corky sense of humor. "Thank you God for the gift of his life."
