My Dad, Ken Martin, worked for Mr. Nester for many years. Despite a move to New Mexico for our family in 1979, Mr. Nester remained a good friend to my father and they often corresponded. I know Mr. Nester was the best boss my Dad ever had and he will miss his friendship. Our prayers are with Cleo at this time. Lori Martin

Dearest Cleo
I am sure that you remember me as Bill came on board as one of my Deacons the first year that I was Deacon Chair and remained through my second year. He was a great Christian and a perfect gentleman. May the Lord bless and keep you. You shall be in my prayers.
