Not sure what to say?

Mr. Nugent was a kind, gentle , humorous and thoughtful man. He was another parent to all of the students whether or not we were in his classes or on his teams. We lost someone truly special and worthy of being emulated. May we all honor his memory by being better people.

One of the pillars of Chi, Nuge is sorely missed by so many. He was part of the village that raised so many kids at Chi, along with my dad Tony Apichella and so many others. Rest in Peace, Nuge.

A good part of who I am was planted and nurtured by "Nuge" he made a point of saying a prayer before every game. He led he taught and he showed me how to be a good person.

We lost a wonderful and caring Man. I don't know anyone who is more Special than my Uncle Bob.

I was saddened this morning when I read about Bob's passing in the Garnet Valley Press. I had the privilege of being in Bob's Bible Study group at Church of the Holy Child. He would always give the historical background of what was going on at the time of whatever we were studying which just brought it all together for me. He was a wonderful, thoughtful man; he would leave newspapers containing children's puzzles for my girls hanging on my garage door. You could always see his love of God...

As a Chichester Cheerleader Mr. Nuge was the voice of my Friday nights. I can still her him calling the game with his very own brand of enthusiasm. "Flags Galore" is the quote that comes to mind, it always made me giggle. Wishing for peace to his family during this difficult time.

After knowing Nuge in school as a teacher, coach, band supporter and mentor to many students; I was surprised when I married to learn that he was like a 5th son in the LeMin family. This red haired Irishman was one of the Greatest Generation and his kind, thoughtful, generous and courageous life, lived with faith, good humor and wit, will always be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing him.

A great loss to his family, friends and colleagues. Equally missed and loved by the many students he befriended. Unlike today, Mr. Nugent was instrumental in encouraging young men and women as they progressed through their high school years and even later in their young professional lives. He further espoused confidence in each of us through his leadership and friendship.

Dear Mrs Huge, didn't go to Chi but everyone knew and loved him in Boothwyn. Sorry for your loss and the loss to our community.
