Nathaniel "Nat" Bowditch

My sincerest condolences to Nat's wife and family and mother. My name is Stephen Keefe. My brother David and I played with Nat and Stephen in the backyard and the woods/fields surrounding the Bowditch's home in Cohasset. As a young boy, Nat was always full of fun. He was intelligent, inquisitive and an explorer at heart...but he was also a gentle soul...and that's what I remember most about him.
I'm very glad to know that Nat had his loved ones with him when he passed away earlier this...

Dear Lynn, Lee, family, and all the staff at the Inn: Hugs and much love to you all. Knowing Nat was a joy. I think fondly of his warm smile, his spirit, his gift for interesting conversation, and his great breakfasts! My thoughts are with you now and always -- Natalie

I had the honor of seeing Nat every four weeks for the last four years for his monthly haircut. When I thing of Nat I think of kindness and his love for Lynn. I will miss him dearly.

Dear Lynn and family,
I offer my sincere condolences for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I worked with Nat at DECD for many years, and I have the privilege of calling him my friend. He taught me many valuable lessons about living life to its fullest, regardless of what challenges were presented. His laughter rings in my ears, and eases my sorrow. Nat, I look forward to having a glass of Due Uve with you when we meet again.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Jessica Roy

I knew Nat as a frequent guest to the Inn over the past four years. His solicitude and gentleness towards his guests even during his illness were what you hope to find everywhere. It's hard to think of the Inn without him. My thoughts are with you Lynn.

One of the great pleasures of visiting Portsmouth was breakfast with Nat at the Inn. He was a good man, and I will miss him. Hugs to you, Lynn and Lee.

Lynn, my heart goes out to you and your family right now as i really have no words that will comfort you. Nat and you allowed me to see a side of people that will never be forgotten. There are truly no words for all he's done for people.. Know he will truly be missed by all.

Nat was one of my best friends as we grew up together in Cohasset. We were in school together from nursery school through sixth grade, until he went away to school. His mother was a den mother for our Cub Scout pack, and we spent summers learning to sail at Cohasset Yacht Club. One summer he was my crew in our two man Sprite. Many times he joined us on our family sailboat for day trips and weekends. He was always a good buddy and cheerful friend. After he went away to school we drifted...

I had the pleasure of working with Nat over many years and I will miss him and think of him often. He was always the ray of sunshine to many people. My thoughts are with Lynn and his family.
