Nelson and I were in the CHS band together. He and his first cousin Hal Don were the French horns...beautiful music.
He had a quite, but strong aura that attracted many of us. His precious wife made his life complete.
It was an honor to know him and several of his cousins and his older brother Wendell. Heaven gain a great asset in him!!!!! Johnny Ray
