About | Kenneth "Tot" Nelson passed away on Friday, February 16, 2018. He was 97 yrs old. Mr Nelson had served in the United States Army Air Corps as a pilot in World War II. This is something I never knew about him but it makes me respect him even more. Mr Nelson was the first basketball coach at Castle High School when it opened in 1959. He was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at Oakland City University in 2014. In 2017 he was inducted into the GESHall of Fame. He retired from coaching at Castle H.S. in 1968 and as a teacher in 1983. RIP Mr. Nelson |
