    So sorry for his family’s loss. He was one of our customers that used to come in pretty often to buy some gas & some scratch tickets. He was always a pleasant man when I waited on him at Cumberland farms

    Words cannot describe how deeply saddened I am of your father and grandfather’s passing away. My deepest condolence and prayers go out to you all during this hard time. Nelson will be missed and forever loved by all of us. I worked with your father and grandfather for many years at our family business. He is a consummate gentleman and a true American Patriot.
