Nelson was a loving husband, doting father, and proud grandfather. He put his family above all else.
He was a very proud Army veteran who served in Anchorage, Alaska during the Korean War. He took immense pride in his service to his country.
Upon returning to Philadelphia, the city of his birth, he married the love of his life, Beverly Jane Orr. Together, they adopted four children who would give him the joy of 10 grandchildren. At that, a Pop-Pop was born.
Nelson spent his career as an electrical designer for Rohm and Haas.
He loved the time he spent in the Poconos with his family and his beloved “Camping Buddies.” He was an avid collector of mugs and baseball caps from the many places he traveled. He was a voracious watcher of westerns, and eater of eggs at the Suburban Diner where he had become a fixture.
Nelson was kind and patient, intelligent and thoughtful. He was also a skilled practitioner of very dry humor.
Nelson was predeceased by his wife of 47 years, Beverly Jane (Orr) Peck, his parents, and all three of his siblings. Left to grieve his memory are his children Cynthia Moy (Michael), James Peck (Lana), Jeannine Berdomas (Craig), and Jennifer Peck-Gray (Lee). He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren Michael Moy (Kristen), Bethany Moy, Olivia Moy, Beatrix Peck, Lea Peck, Laura Peck, Craig Berdomas, Jr., Nicholas Berdomas (Kimmy), Nathan Berdomas, and Simon Peck-Gray (Taylor).
You will live forever in our hearts and be missed beyond measure.
