    hello, I want to express my feelings here. I am a Turk and I met Nelson Sullivan, the owner of these videos, on YouTube 4 years ago. although he doesn't know me, he must feel in his grave that I admire him. I watch all of his videos and I spend most of my time on YouTube with his videos. I understand that you may be surprised and find crazy about what I said, but it makes me feel good. As someone who loves nostalgia, I can say that I am not an American, but I remembered that I am a human being at a time when technology has developed so much. What we feel, our feelings, our love and longing have no language, religion or race. I enjoy watching his videos, it's like I'm on a life journey with him, I love you my friend. RIP🙏

    Nelson seems like the best house guest! Comfortable right away, helpful, engaging and so appreciate! What a sweetheart

    In one of Nelson's videos he says something to the effect of I won't be here forever, I will eventually go live in the electronic world. That's exactly what he did. If he only knew of YouTube, the internet and the millions that have seen his videos.

    Nelson was so handsome and I just love his personality it’s a shame he isn’t here anymore

    "What is this, opium or something?" "I wish... No it's just zucchini." "How sexy." 😂 I love Nelson
  • OK, Nelson discovering his good-looking friend in the zucchini patch is just too perfect 😆👌

    I feel like I know Nelson. I woke up today grieving for him. I think he would be very proud to see his footage has lived on. He is truly the king of Vlogging. <3

    These videos are so special and wonderful. I don't know how I found them but it's bringing me so much joy, almost so much that I don't even know how to put it into words.

  • @Heramitep
    Nelson looked so content and relaxed in this video.

    Wow I used to live in Walpole went to high school there it looked so different back then. That cvs is still there I didn’t even know cvs was around in the 80’s. Mustos barber shop just closed last year after being open for over 70 years. These videos are like a time machine I wish he showed more outside footage.

    Back when friends would actually visit each other in person, not text or facetime. I miss these days. 🙁
