I am so sorry for the loss of Nelson . I remember Nelson from approx. 30 years ago when a group of friends and I took an upholstery course from the technical school on Hillsbourgh Avenue. Nelson was our instructor and.. OH ! how he made the course so much fun! We looked forward to attending class every week. (We would show up early and stay late.) Nelson was a master of his trade AND such a nice man !
My condolences to Nelson's family.

Our sincere condolences go out to the Cimo family. Mr. Cimo was always a classy gentleman, and a pleasure to be around. I know he will be missed, including not only by his family, but also by his many friends and acquaintances. I remember the many dances he and Janet enjoyed when Pieces played years ago.
