Adrian J. Nugteren

GOOD FRIEND and enjoyed working with [ NUGT ] for six good years at the SBN airport control tower .

Uncle John was one of the most loving person I know. He could light up the room with his smile. Sorry we couldn't be there for the funeral. Love you all so much.

John was the best neighbor one could have asked for! 3 young kids moving in next door from the country I'm sure would have drove anyone nuts but not John. He always asked how school was going and truly cared for everyone in the community. My deepest condolences to his family.

So sorry and thinking of you and you all are in our thoughts and prayers

Grandpa was one of the most loving men I ever met. You always Knew he loved you no matter what. He had the best stories and lived an exciting life. He is truly missed but will never be forgotten.

You will be truly missed Uncle John. I love you.

I have so many wonderful memories of the times I spent with John, Emy and the girls from many years ago. John and his family have always held a very special place in my heart.

I have so many wonderful memories of the times I spent with John, Emy and the girls from many years ago. John (and his family) have always held a very special place in my heart. My love goes out to Leisa, Lori and Amy ... and all their children. May Peace be with you all.

Adrian was my grandfather. He was a big part of my life as well as my 2 year old son and will be deeply missed. Grandpa had a way of bringing a smile to my face no matter what kind of day I was having, and he was the goofiest 85 year old I knew. He turned into a kid again around his grandkids and great grandkids, getting right down on his hands and knees to play and rough house with them. During my childhood, he came to every band concert, choir concert, and every grandparent's day at school. He came to stay with me for nine hours in the hospital almost 3 years ago when I had my son and was one of the 1st to lay eyes on him. He had a close and loving relationship with my son and I am so glad for that. He loved my husband as one of his own from day one. Grandpa loved EVERY grandchild and great-granchild this way. He loved with his whole heart 100% of the time. And MAN...... did he have the most perfect, love-filled, passionate marriage. It was truly picture perfect.

I love you and miss you so so much, grandpa. I am glad I was with you to the very end. Know we find peace and comfort in our many wonderful memories of you. What a treasure you were to our family and to those who knew you.
