Bernard Joseph Natkin

Rhona, David, Tama, and Tonya-

With nothing but fondness and appreciation do I remember your dad. He taught me how to cut a steak properly at the dinner table, you know.
And, of course, beyond that--he was a person proud of his family. You all brought him much delight. Who can forget his laugh?
A man dedicated to his job, your father was a great inspiration to all of us.
I, too, learned of his death only yesterday. But, as Peter said, I was with you in spirit...

Dear Betty and Family,
I was very sad to read of Mr. Natkin's death. I was blessed to have worked with him for quite a few years and will miss him greatly.

I am very sad to hear that Mr. Natkin has passed. He was a good friend to so many people in the Rockbridge community, and my deepest sympathy goes out to his family. May memories of joyful times sustain you in your grief.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To the Natkin Family-Bernie was such a good friend of so many people here in Lexington and Rockbridge County. He will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathy goes out to all the family members, as they cherish all their memories of him. Marge Slusser

I was very sorry to hear of the death of your husband and Father -

Mr.Natkin was an institution in Lexington/Rockbridge County. There aren't many that could fill his shoes.

Mr. Natkin and his family have always been kind and helpful people.
With deepest sympathy and prayers to you all,
Patty Kidd

Dear Betty, David, Tama, Rhona & Tanya,

Your husband/father certainly left much to be remembered in Rockbridge County. I always felt that the joy he derived from life was the basis of his success in his career and his relationships with others. He extended me nothing but courtesy and acceptance as I grew up with you; I appreciated it. I did not learn of Saturday's events and today's service in Roanoke in time to be there with you, but then again, in many ways I've never left. ...

Our deepest sympathy is sent from the Buster Moore family. Bernie was very special to Buster, and now both have left this life within a short few months. May you find comfort in your fond memories and special love that he shared.

I am deeply sorry to hear about the death of Bernard. His family here in Roanoke, VA had a long history in this community. He will be missed
