Sympathies to the Nabor's family. Your father hired me thirty years ago, and he was a wonderful man to work for. He was truly one of the great people involved in Newark Schools. He was always easy to talk to, and could be counted on for help anytime. He will be missed. He was the best principal I worked for.
