• I was lucky to have had several conversations with Nellie when he served Duquesne University. I can sum it up in a few words, "He was a nice guy, and a Good Man " (NT) -- PHILLDOGG, Wednesday, August 11, 10:34:54am

• I knew Nellie very well. Always a gentlemen and a wonderful ambassador to Duquesne. He will be missed. My prayers go out to his family! (NT) -- Motor, Wednesday, August 11, 01:53:46pm
  • Perfect description my friend. When Nellie retired, the college basketball reporter for the Newark Star-Ledger devoted half a column to him. Basically said he was the classiest SID the reporter had ever met, and told nice stories about Nellie as a person. I'd love to find an archive of that some time and share it with everyone.

• Rest in Peace. Nellie was a quiet, decent man. (NT) -- Alan, Wednesday, August 11, 08:54:21pm

• Nellie was one of my all time favorites. I'll never forget when that idiot Edward Wallace, fired him and Bob Prince, but it was a break for Duquesne, because Nellie fell into our lap. It's a shame the hoops team had so little success when he was the color man. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, August 11, 09:29:42pm

• My family's prayers go out to Nellie and his family. At the picnic, Ray mentioned that he wasn't doing very well but he (Ray) continued to visit him regularly. God bless you Nellie, rest in peace. (NT) -- kenOTR73, Wednesday, August 11, 09:35:09pm

• Nice tribute to Nellie King on Keith Olbermann's Show tonight...everytime I've had a chance to observe, meet or talk to Nellie he was always a class act and always treated everyone with respect and kindness.
