Mr. Nate as he was lovingly called, had an extended family that included the caring staff and residents of the Vassar Warner Home where he shared meals, time and priceless memories for several years.

Our dad enjoyed strawberry ice-cream, cakes and pastries, tea with milk and plenty of sugar. He enjoyed oldies music and sometimes naming that tune when riding in the car. He was quiet, handsome, and always responded with the softness of a southern gentleman. POP never complained, things were always good!
