I was very sorry to learn about Nurham’s passing. He was a great friend and mentor. We had many great times and conversations while he served as a lobbyist for the NC Agricultural Teachers Association. He was a friend to both agriculture and to his fellow man. He has eagerly received the welcomed invitation ...”Well done thy good and faithful servant, Enter now into the joy of thy Lord.”

I'll miss that smiling face. We always had a fine time when we saw each other. We have a lot of entangled memories that started with me watching him practicing public speaking with Dad. They practiced long and hard. W.E. Hamilton was really proud of Nurham as a student and as a man.
