Keith will be missed my many. Not only was he (and Linda) a neighbor on Riverview Drive, but he was also one of my English Comp instructors at LMC. I always enjoyed a conversation with Keith.

To Keith's extended family: We met Keith and Linda in 1968 when Ken and I moved to South Haven. We purchased WJOR radio. Linda was Ken's secretary for ten years. We shared many good times together and our friendship continued after we relocated to LaPorte, IN. Our Loss is Heaven's gain! DeEtta Coe LaPorte, IN

Keith was my Bloomingdale High School English Teacher from 1970-72- he also taught our journalism class-and encouraged us, to reach higher, and strive for success- He would be there, to answer questions,,and always a great listener. His humor and quick wit, keeps us all entertained, and gave us all something to look forward to in class. I was sadden to hear of his passing,

My deepest sympathies to the family of Keith Nelson. I worked with him in South Haven schools when he was a substitute teacher. He was one of the best substitute teachers. I really enjoyed listening to him read to the students with so much enthusiasm. He will be deeply missed in the community.

It is with fondest memories I write this about one of my very favorite high school teachers in Bloomingdale. Mr. Nelson was fun and witty, but most importantly - a teach with the knack to know how to motivate students to achieve! I appreciated Mr. Nelson and the classes he taught! My condolences go out to your entire family for the loss of a wonderful person. Rest in Peace to one terrific Educator!
