He was born Aug. 4, 1946
in Cottage Grove to James and
Mable Nelson. He was raised
in the Hayhurst area near Drain
and attended high school.
On June 13, 1992 in Cottage

Jim served in the Navy in

Reading God’s word was his
greatest pleasure. He was an ac-
complished wood worker and
made beautiful pieces, giving
them to family and friends. He
loved to spoil his grandkids and
take his wife Jeanette and dog,
Daisy May, to the coast where
he fi shed, clammed and walked
on the beach. He also enjoyed
hunting

photography.
Spending time with his family
and helping them with projects
around the house was a big part
of his life, no matter how big or
small, if you needed something
