The Nettles family,

I am deeply sadden for your loss, and we all lost a friend and colleague. He was never shy to share his opinion or his many funny stories. He was quick to lend a hand to anyone that needs help. And you cannot deny his love of sports. We will miss his smile and friendliness in the stadiums.
