Nelson and his wife moved to Denmark, ME in 2007 but Nelson was never one to be idle. He was an active member of the town where he sat on the Planning Board and participated in the Denmark Lions. He enjoyed traveling, fishing and sharing his humor.

The family would like to thank the staff of Clover Manor and the Androscoggin Home Health/Hospice for the tender loving care they provided. At Nelson's request, there will be no services. Those wishing to do so, may make a donation in his memory to the American Parkinson Disease Association.
