Nathan was born in Philadelphia in 1919 and moved to Newfield in 1937 and to Vineland in 1959. In 1942, he joined the U.S. Coast Guard and was stationed in Portland, Maine, where he met his wife of 60 years, Ruth Shepard.

In 1983, Nat and Ruth moved to Hollywood, Fla., where they enjoyed a wonderful retirement until Ruth's death in 2004. Later that year, Nat moved to Scottsdale, Ariz., to be near his son and daughter-in-law.

Uncle Nat was one of the sweetest and and most loving persons I have known. His sense of humor was terrific and he loved to make everyone around him laugh. I will miss him dearly.
