Francine, just heard about your dad.
My thoughts are with you
He will be missed by all who knew him
I will always remember his smile when he came into the Post for Cribbage. He was truly a "gentle"man.

Milty, Dad--what a pleasure it has been to know you, and just hang out with you, listening to your stories. I feel blessed to have known you, even for a short period.
Thank you for the laughter and your smiling eyes. Be free and keep dancing.
With love,
Nancy(Nan)

Mr. Nesson,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during WW II fighting the Germans-especially during the Battle of the Bulge-the largest bloodiest battle ever fought in American history. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

To all the kids: Of course you all know my sorrow in losing my brother , your father, grampa, and uncle. We will all live with our memories. Yours are of today - but mine are of the past. They are few because I was young when he was growing up and then when we would have enoyed our life together - he was gone and didn't return until my mind was on friends and his was on returning to his friends. There was always love between us - but distance and work separated our lives. I will miss him but I know he is with my mom, dad, brother, his wife and the rest of the family. God Bless you all....Uncle Jack

Bobby, Adelle, Isabelle, Francine,

We are sorry for all our loss. Uncle Milty had a full life and did it his way. We are sorry we could not be there with you but know we are thinking of you during these times.

It meant a lot to my Dad, Uncle Jack, to be there with all of you during this time and converse with Milty prior to his passing.

Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Dad,
Thank you for all the great memories growing up: the songs we sung in the car, the laughter as we swam at Houghton's Pond jumping over you as you floated on your back smoking a cigar, and the ongoing love that you exhibited to me through the highs and lows of my life. Thank you for being a very special dad to me, Love you always, your daughter out west, Isobel

Dad:

Thanks for the memories. It would've been nice if you "threw me a bone" and let me win once in a while at cards.

We had a lot of laughs through the years....alright, they were mostly at Adele's expense. Sorry, Dels.

I will miss you....especially when watching a ball game and not hearing you ROOT FOR THE OPPOSING TEAM!

All my love, now and forever. Your "little baby" daughter, Francine
