Biography[]
Running Nelson's Meats[]
- "Your father's arthritis gets a little worse every day. He's having trouble holding onto things, especially when he's tired. I see him with the saws and slicers."
"Ma, I'm sorry. Isn't there anything they can do for it?"
"There's no cure for getting old, Franklin. Your father needs to be on a beach, not slinging meat in Hell's Kitchen. Forty years is enough already." - ―Anna Nelson and Foggy Nelson[src]
Edward Nelson got married to Anna and they had two kids, Foggy and Theo. They always wanted Foggy to run their family deli, Nelson's Meats, but he became a lawyer instead. As Edward got older, he started developing arthritis.[1] The deli was in deep financial trouble. Luckily, Theo was able to get them more money by, as he said, moving numbers around. Edward and Anna thought nothing of it and signed. They later found out Foggy was making a bid for District Attorney and celebrated him.[2]
Moving to Tampa[]
- "Of course, we're gonna have to buy sunscreen by the bucket."
"Better than that rock salt. Enough with the snow and ice. We're getting out of here." - ―Anna Nelson and Edward Nelson[src]
Following Wilson Fisk's arrest, Anna and Edward made the decision to move to Tampa. They let Theo Nelson take over Nelson's Meats and told Foggy Nelson their idea. Foggy was very supportive.[3]
