B.Sc. (Elect) degree from RNTC (U.K.) in 1950, and received
a diploma in advanced mathematics from Cambridge Institute of
Science and Technology (Toronto) in 1974. Dad was afforded the
opportunity to work extensively throughout Canada and the United

Nelson was hired as a Consultant on many interesting projects
- including the Apollo Moonshot program (NASA). Proud member
of the Professional Engineers of Ontario and the Naval Veterans
Association. Hobbies included reading (mostly engineering journals!)
and biomedical technical research. This resulted in two invention
disclosures (Commissioner of Patents, Washington, D.C.). In his
later years, Nelson put 'technical pencil to graph paper' to
write poetry. His sister June and daughter Susan were the recipients
of weekly prose over the last two years of Nelson's life. Nelson's
family will receive family and close Friends at the Turner and

I were you and you were me But that can never be So fly away
little bird and be free And maybe someday we will meet in eternity
And I'll be you and you will be me. ~ N.
