To Msgr's family,
What a wonderful man Msgr. was. I was also one of the Kotz girls who worked in the Incarnation rectory when Msgr was Pastor there. An extremely caring priest, he was respected by the older and the young alike.Thank you God for blessing us with Msgr Nolon and may he rest in your peace.

Dear Msgr. Nolan,
You were a wonderful priest and a true friend to me and my family. I'll always remember all of the conversations we shared when I worked at the Rectory and all the help you gave me with my Latin homework! My family and I will
always remember all the help and care you gave us, especially during the time of our house fire in 1976. We will always look back fondly on the memories of dinners shared in our home in Queens Village. Thank you for your true friendship. May your soul rest in peace... Your friend, Veronica (Kotz) Damore
