He later retired from Mobil Oil Corporate headquarters in Denver, CO, settling in Tallahassee, FL. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, gardening, and traveling. He enjoyed going to FSU football and baseball games. Nelson was a humble and kind man, who always wanted the best for everyone and never met a stranger. He would never put off what he could do and enjoy today, was happy, and always preferred fresh home-grown veggies. He leaves behind his wife of almost 71 years, Betty Jean Futch; daughter and son in-law Becky and Michael Schreiber of Tallahassee, FL; and a special niece, Wanda Lou Newton of Crestview, FL; And many more family members and friends who love and miss him.
