Dick Nelson, the voice of Laker football for more than three decades, died February 1.

Nelson retired prior to the 2014 football season because of declining health. He was the voice of Laker football for 37 years, and missed only two games during that time.

The Hodson family will greet friends on Friday, February 6, in the Alumni House from 1-5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, his family suggests a memorial contribution to the Dick Nelson Memorial Sports Broadcasting Scholarship.
