Nathan Orem

I would say that I had never met a nicer person than Mr. Nate. He extended his kindness and friendliness to everyone he met. The world is now a better place because of the way he left it.

RIP My Friend

Nate you were a sweet dear soul who bought happiness to everyone you touched. You are surely missed, There will never be another one like you.
Your Dear Friend Sherman Coleman

"Mr. Orem" was the school custodian at McKenny Hills Elementary in Silver Spring when I attended in the mid-60's. He had a reputation as an artist and I remember once in 4th grade our teacher asked him to spend some time with the class and he patiently sat in a chair while EVERY student in that class came to him one by one and he would draw a picture for each one. I asked him to draw me a "space ship". I still remember it ! God Bless you Mr. Orem !

What a dear dear man our Nathan was. I will miss him so very much and cherish all my wonderful Art Work that he left me. He was a true artist and the kindest most loving man I could of had the pleasure of knowing. RIP my dear friend. Remember you are and will always be dearly loved and missed.

Nathan, You were a true testament of what Christianity was all about. You will be sorely missed, but you were greatly loved and appreciated. Good Night my good friend.

Will always remember you that one of a kind that would help anybody. Love you my friend

Nathan was a wonderful person and I really enjoyed getting to know him when he visited the Damascus Historical Society on Saturdays. He had such a good singing voice and a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed. Linda Gilbert, Damascus, MD.
