Not sure what to say?

I am deeply saddened to discover the passing of Frank. I truly enjoyed our conversations. I met Frank in June of 1982. I was looking for employment having just graduated from the University of Massachusetts. We met at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. He was instrumental in offering me a teaching position in physics and math at WIT. The position he offered me lasted throughout the 1980's. I Will Miss My Friend Greatly, Bruce Ewen

Seeing your face this morning made me so happy and then I felt sad at not seeing you. I thought of our times visiting at Brimfield and then smile comes back. You were one of a kind, "a gem," and old artist friend used to say. Peace.

I was lucky enough to have Prof. Nestor for Calculus, Differential Equations and Engineering Economy. I was having a tough time with school and thought about throwing in the towel multiple times and quitting college. He kept telling me, stick with it "they don't put your grades on your degree." Well after 5 years an extra summer semester I graduated. Thanks Professor Nestor for pushing me thru.

Frank. Gosh how we miss your smiling face. I miss the stories you would tell me of your grandchildren and how you got such a kick out of them. They warmed your heart and I could tell how proud you were of them. You loved that they were such good people.
You spoke of all your family so lovingly. You were proud of them.
Because of the bond we made at Brimfield we often spoke of Fran and John and how you understood Frans passion.... even when you didn't!
I felt you loved your...

Coach Nestor was a great mentor to me on and off the court and continued to be a close friend long after I graduated. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. He will be missed. Rest in peace Coach.

I coached as an assistant men's basketball coach at Wentworth from 2005-2012. I had the good fortune to play in our men's basketball golf tournament in a foursome with Coach Nestor one of those years. He had great stories about the formative days of WIT NCAA basketball. He was always very nice to me and I'm very sorry to hear of his passing.

We loved meeting Frank at Brimfield and always looked forward to spending time with him and hearing stories at Fran and John's booth. We feel privileged to have have known him. May he rest in peace. Steve and Deb

My prayers and condolences go out to the entire Nestor family.
Frank Nestor is a Wentworth treasure. Frank was Wentworth.

I still want to be Frank Nestor when I grow up.
Rest in peace Professor, Friend, Mentor, Coach.
Love,

A fellow co-worker, a great professor and a good person. Thank you for those rides to Doyle's. You will be missed by all those you have met through the years.
