Nelson Family,
so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Nelson. Always a kind person. God Bless you all.

Wendy and Glen Manemeit

We are so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We were fortunate to have been their neighbors in Venice Florida. Your Mom made the most delicious cookies which she shared with us and we were in awe when your Dad played his sax! In the later years of your Moms life she recognized me but couldn't always call me by name. However , she could always call Jerry by name. I think it was because he used to tease her a lot. After they left we missed them so much! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad time.💕

We have such wonderful memories of Bill and Barb at RRR. His music, parties, dances... What a great couple! It was so good to see him a few years ago when he came back to visit. Our thoughts and prayers to each member of your family and all who loved him.

Jerry and I are so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. We lived across the road from them many years at Ramblers Rest and loved them dearly! Your Mom was so precious and Jerry used to tease her so much. In the later years she recognized me, but could always call Jerry by his name. And your Dad was such an amazing man, I so loved it when he played his Sax! We are soblessed to have known both of your parents. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all . Hugs!

Jon,Tim and I would like to give you our deepest condolences on the loss of your dad. It's been many years since the family's of the Atwell sisters have gotten together. We will still miss our cousin Bill.

We were s fortunate to be good friends of Bill and Barb. What a wonderful friend. We shared many laughs, enjoyed his music and downed a whole bunch of Manhattans together. Both will live in our memory. And, as a bonus we enjoyed knowing their great children. Job well done good friend.
