I had the great pleasure of knowing Chad through Junior High at Lake Shore and High School at Lee. Universityof Fla as well. Hearing of his passing was a huge jolt. Chad was always the ultimate wit, happy and never said an unkind word about anyone. What a loss! My heart goes out to his family-Chad was one of the good guys!

Chad was the class wit! Always with a fun comment to make life happy. The only time I was sent to the Dean at Lee High School Chad was right there with me ! Mr. Rupp tried to embaress me one day and I told him it was " none of his business ". For Chad, he agreed to boisterously and we spent the next hour with the Dean ( lol ). Thanks Chad!!

To the Nussbaum Family,
As a member of the Lee High Class of "71" I want to express my condolences to the family and friends of Chad. If I remember correctly , Chad dressed as "General Lee" walking the sidelines during football season, leading the cheers much like "Albert & Alberta".
It is never easy to lose a loved one. Just try to focus on the good times.
Go Gators,

Rhetta, Chard, Brandon, David, Lil Chad and family...you were all so truly blessed to have Chad in your lives. I have worked with him for 10 years and I know I was blessed to get to know him. You Nussbaums are great people. I will truly miss Chad and will forever remember him with fondness and love.
I will miss him around the office with his singing, his smiles and his great personality...Chad was truly a great person.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

While I never knew Chad personally, I knew of him. Like so many other entries I remember his smile and genuine personal interest in everyone he came in contact with. My one and only time speaking with him was at a Lee football game, a few years after graduation. He recognized me and just started chatting like we were old friends. He left saying that if I were ever interested in buying a house to give him a call. It made me want to buy one, then and there. My prayers to his family. GO GENERALS!!

If you say the name Chad Nussbaum and a smile does not appear on your face, you obvioulsy did not know him. As high school classmates, I did not know him as well as I would have liked but you know, it did not matter. Just being around him was a joy. With a quick wit and a keen sense of humor ... it was always entertaining. Chad will be missed but not forgotten. My deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Chad was one of the funniest and upbeat people I have ever known. He could make me laugh with just one of those little facial expressions he could do so well. I offer my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to his wonderful family. He was always great to work with and was generous with his knowledge and experience. In addition to his business success his son should know that his father was both a professional and caring colleague to those of us who have had the privilege to cross his path. His great personality and smile will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I just learned of Chad's passing today from a fraternity brother of ours. I grew up among the Nussbaums at Fishweir, Lakeshore and Lee and then found Chad again while a KA at Florida. I never found Chad without a smile and something positive to say no matter what the situation. Wheat, Barley....Chad.

I will miss our dear friend so much. To work deals with Chad was a great opportunity to see how it should be done, with honesty and ethnics.

There are not too many people who could make such a positve impact on people like Chad. Just thinking about him brings a smile to my face. As in his life, the impact of his passing has greatly affected all who had the delight of knowing and spending time with him. May we all appreciate each day we are given with a smile and a remembrance of the joy he brought to our lives. For his family and especially Chaddy, may God give you strength, peace and hope.
