You will be truly missed Nelson. We will always love and remember all the good times we have shared.
Nelson worked very hard at our home on several occations with Tony Carbone’s crew, as well as Brian Augur’s crew, and with Dino Esposito. At times I’d tell him to take a break because he worked so hard. He had a wonderful polite demeanor and loved our dogs. It was always a pleasure to see him. We are very sad.
The world is at a loss without him, but I’m sure heaven is rejoicing.
I never had the honor to meet Nelson Jr., but have had the privilege of working with Nelson Sr.
Knowing the moral and ethical quality Nelson Sr. has demonstrated in stewarding the family’s long standing farm, as well as the generous work he has done to add value to the lives of countless families families of poverty through good food — I can only imagine how good a man, and how good a citizen Nelson Jr. was. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Cecarelli’s and all those who held Nelson Jr. close to their hearts. May God bless Nelson Jr. and each of you deeply.
With heartfelt condolences, please accept our most sincere sympathies for your loss…our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. As you grieve know that we are remembering you and honoring the memory of Nelson.
