Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. What a great man, and it's hard to understand why he would be taken so young. Mary loved him as a softball coach and she had so much fun playing for him last summer. I admired his calm demeanor and he was a true gentleman. I enjoyed talking with Nate at ball games and other events at Tuslaw over the years. He will be missed. God Bless.
