After 36 years with the University of Missouri Extension Service, retirement for Nelson Trickey has been spent volunteering his time and expert talent for several worthwhile organizations throughout the state. Since retirement from 4-H in 1985, Nelson has personally secured over one million dollars for the Missouri 4-H Foundation and 25 million dollars for the American Cancer Society. As a husband, father, grandfather, Sunday school teacher, community volunteer, American Red Cross blood donor and decorated WWII veteran, Nelson Trickey is a class act all the way.

Nelson’s retirement motto is simple, “I would rather wear out than rust out.”
