All of the dozens of citizen memorials here have a relief panel which depicts musicians on a keyboard, horn and bass and the name of the person honored. This one reads:

"Ed Nelson

Entertainment"

Wikipedia (visit link) informs us:

"Edwin Stafford "Ed" Nelson (December 21, 1928 – August 9, 2014) was an American actor, best known for his role as Dr. Michael Rossi in the ABC television series Peyton Place. He was a native of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Nelson appeared in episodes of many television programs, more than fifty motion pictures, and hundreds of stage productions. Until 2005, he had been teaching acting and screenwriting in New Orleans at two local universities there. Hurricane Katrina prompted him to move his family far to the north to Sterlington, Louisiana. At the time of his death, however, he had relocated to Greensboro, North Carolina, where he had been in hospice care. He died at age 85."
