Nelson also served on then-President-elect Bill Clinton's transition team, the U.S. Competitiveness Council and a variety of San Diego boards and commissions.
Bob Nelson, a former port commissioner and political consultant, lighted up a room when he entered, cajoled clients who questioned his way of doing things, and became active in the local gay community when he came out in the 1990s.
His sister, Mary Lou Tomason, said he tripped on his shoelace while walking from his garage, bashed his head on a granite countertop and spent a week in the hospital. A week later, while recovering and looking forward to a scuba trip to the Philippines, he died at home. “Bob was really a wordsmith,” Padberg said, but he also frustrated her and their clients by insisting on his way of doing things.
Besides the state film commission, Nelson served on then-President-elect Bill Clinton’s transition team, the U.S. Competitiveness Council and a variety of San Diego boards and commissions, most notably the San Diego Convention Center Corp. and San Diego Unified Port District, serving as chairman of both.
