    I have so many fond memories of my times with Nate. Always willing to help, whether to fix my car, fix a broken fence, cut the lawn, fix the garage door, and anything I asked. We spent many a weekend together sharing laughs, stories, meals and keeping up on each other’s lives. A quiet, gentle soul who will be missed. To Patti, Natalie and family, and Jamie, my heart is heavy for you all. We loved him very much.
