Dear Cousin Lois and all your family,

Uncle,



You always took an interest in my professional and personal life. The times at 14 Wallace Rd will always be memorable for me. While you're not here on this earth physically, I know you are in my heart.



Say hi to Aunt Rya for me and tell her I am holding her to our backgammon re-match.



Love always,

Remembering Nate



With the voice of a lion and the heart of a lamb

Family and machines are what drove this man.



A broken light switch, a leak or a crack

was reason for Nathan to set his attack



Returning from work just after seven

His usual sirloin was a bit of heaven



Most any night returning from the yard,

You’d find Nate and Rya playing cards.



After dinner canasta or hearts were on tap

Where Lois and I would often get trapped



Always an optimist and determined as well

Even with losses of loved ones who fell



Nothing made him happier than his grandkids, all four

And most recently with Alexis who he so much adored



Papa I think my radiator has a leak,

Bring it right over, let’s take a peek



At age 85 you’d often find Nate

under a car no matter what make



“Dorothy lets take a ride, no matter how far”

For Nate was at home while driving his car



Dinner in Gloucester or Laconia for a day

“This car’s a honey!” you’d hear him say



His gas tank would always be half full or more

And that’s how he viewed life, we know for sure



to this great man family always came first

we will follow your example for better or worse





We’ll miss you Nate now that you’re at rest

And be assured, our hero, that you are the best.

Uncle Nate,

You were an inspiration and role model for me my entire life. And for the last forty years, you were my second father. You are deeply missed and will always be lovingly remembered.
