Dr. Nelson passed away

I have just learned  that Dr. Frank Nelson has passed from complications due to  his recent stroke.  I had just visited him at Brookwood two nights ago and he seemed to be recovering.

I will contact his daughter, Ashley, tomorrow for some more details and about the pending services.

Frank is an Eagle Scout,   the former Fire Chief of Bluff Park before incorporation w/Hoover,  a former orthodontic surgeon of dentistry  at UAB, a practicing attorney, small business owner in Fairfield, and public defender for the City of Hoover...

he began working with the Troop when his son, Ben, crossed over from WEBELOS in,  1997....adding greatly as a leader and active Scouter to the  depth of  our shooting sports program with rifle, shotgun, and ammunition assets...working as the Troop  merit badge counselor for wilderness survival, purchasing and insuring the Frank Tank for the Troop, not to mention countless hours spent with the Troop and the Council's Top Gun program. 

He will be sorely missed by the City of Hoover, the Troop, and all his past and current relationships built over the years in the Birmingham, Hoover, and Bluff Park communities.
