Hello Nash Family: Brian and I met at Smitty's on Tatum and Shea in the mid seventies when we were in our late teen's. I thought he was handsome, kind and smart. I was invited to spend Christmas at the Nash home where we exchanged gifts. Mr. Nash kissed my cheek under the mistletoe and introduced me to everyone. He bought me an entire wardrobe for my new big girl job as an property manager. I gifted him with a green recliner chair for his new flipped home. It was attached to the roof of my new lime green Gremlin. He was horrified that I pulled up with my car he called 'hideous'. From that point on he suggested that I drive his fancier Opal. The last time we talked was a little after the early 1980's. Both of us had just gotten married, beginning our new lives with others. I always wondered how he was doing until one day I saw Laura at Dr. Anderson's office. She told me of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, especially his daughters Taylor and Madeline. Best regards, Sylvia

I am saddened to learn that my friend Brian passed away. We met working at Smitty's grocery in Phoenix, AZ and dated on and off in the 70's. I remember Christmas at the his parents house. Mr. Nash took us to a Phoenix Suns game, which I credit for my love of basketball today. My husband's friends knew him playing baseball. My belated thoughts and prayers for his wife and daughters.
