Read MoreNat was a special person, friend and neighbor. He was always so kind and gracious and yet so thought provoking. The world shall miss this gentle spirit. I was blessed to have known him. Now cracks a noble heart. Goodnight, sweet prince;

I knew Nat in the mid 50's when we were both at Northwestern. He was so smart and so kind and while I did not see him after that we kept with each other about our Northwestern oolleagues. I did not know of his death until my Christmas card was returned. Please know I am so sorry to have lost such a friend . Iam so proud of his contributions to the arts all of his life.

To Dearest Nat, Norwegians would say, "Takk for Alt," thanks for everything. To family and friends, sincere condolences. May he live on in the hearts and memories of all who knew him, and in the words he left behind.

Nat remains an inspiration to all of us who had the honor of studying theatre with him at OU. His encouragement was constant, and his sense of fun was infectious. Wow, could he entertain! I will always be grateful that Nat remained a part of my life.

Nay was a rebel and a chance-taker. He always encouraged me to go the direction I felt I should go in theatre...take the chance and learn from it. I will always remember OU and Marst/Sade...what a noise he made with that ! Thank you, Nat Eek...

It was my honor to serve as Associate Dean when Nat was Dean of Fine Arts at OU. He was a special person, a mentor, and a friend. We kept in touch through the years and will always remember our last visit with him in Santa Fe a few years ago.

I spent two wonderful summers in Santa Fe with Dr. Eek and Dr. Mathis. I also did a show at Rupel Jones directed by Dr. Eek. It was Lend Me A Tenor. I will always remember Dr. Eek with great respect and fondness. Actually Dr. Eek was at OU the first time I attended in the 60s and then again when I returned in the early 90s.
