His parents, Virginia Nelson Hime (January 22, 1913-December 4, 1993) and Harold Leroy Hime (April 4, 1918-March 9, 2006), were simple, hard-working, and God-fearing people whose love and faithful devotion was the driving force, constant inspiration, and lasting compass for his life. The Nelson family includes direct descendants of Henry Samson, a Mayflower passenger. His paternal grandfather, whose family immigrated from Germany during the 1800’s, was a coal miner and carpenter in Pennsylvania who lived in dire poverty. I thank God for my Christian upbringing which taught me to appreciate what I have and to treat others as I want them to treat me. I believe these qualities and Christian values are the result of my parents having survived the Depression and being faithful to the church and God during their lifetimes. They taught me to trust in and serve the Lord each day with gratitude, and He will provide and care for us. David now resides in Woodstock, Georgia, a suburb outside Atlanta.view less
