HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, NJ Nelson Chang s families, friends, neighbors, and loyal customers are still mourning the loss of their favorite ice cream man. The beloved owner of the Yardville Carvel ice cream shop was honored on Friday by Governor Phil Murphy during his weekly coronavirus briefing.
Murphy noted that Nelson and his wife, Leslie, came to the United States in 1978 from Taiwan with an American Dream to own his own business. The Changs moved to Hamilton 35 years ago. Nelson and Leslie were married for 43 years.
Sixty-seven-year-old Nelson Cheng owned the Carvel Ice Cream Store in Yardville since 1989.
After learning of his death, former employees and members of the community came to show their support Monday, filling the strip mall sidewalk with flowers and mementos. Supporters also wrote messages for the family on the windows of the store.
Former employee Jennifer Thomann called Cheng a staple in the community.
