I’m sorry to learn of Mr. Nugents passing. One of my first jobs was working at the lake where he lived. We built a green block house for him and he was a nice man who offered to pay for my fathers cancer treatments. I was disappointed when Mr. Nugent didn’t reply to my email seeing if he happened to need any work done around his house. Now I know why. Rest In Peace Mr. Nugent.

Remember Phil as a gifted athlete and very popular among classmates. Grateful with the help of his daughter Claudia that I was able to visit and reestablish a friendship before the dementia worsened. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
