BANGOR – Nelson B. Beckwith Sr., died May 8, 2012, at a local hospital after a brief illness. He was born March 1, 1940, in Greenville, son of Gerald M. Beckwith Sr. and Angeline A. (Gagnon) Beckwith.
Nelson grew up in Shirley and graduated from Greenville High School in 1958 and later attended Husson College, studying in the field of education. Nelson was known for his sense of humor and also enjoyed a variety of hobbies including cooking, collecting sports memorabilia, playing Texas Hold-em poker and rug hooking.

Before his retirement, Nelson worked at Moosehead Manufacturing, Monson; as a paralegal in Brewer; an associate at Ames; and was well known as a seller and trader of sports cards on ebay. Nelson loved all animals, domestic and wild. He spent many years spoiling his cat, Satan, who died several years ago.
