I only met Nelson a couple of years ago at our local bowling center. He was still bowling at age 98 and watching him bowl you would never know he was that advanced in years. Through the gift of gab, I remarked about it to what I learned to be his son Gary and a friendship was born. Through further conversation we discovered that Nelson and I spent our youth in the same little town in Connecticut and his face beamed with that discovery. Subsequent conversations through Facebook located the son of one of Nelson's best friends growing up and they were able to share photographs etc. I am blessed to be even minutely involved in his life over the past couple of years. I will miss him greatly. Rest in peace Natale.
