Please accept my deepest sympathies at the passing of Mr. "Naz". I had him for math in my senior year but it was in the hallways where he had so much impact. He had a ready ear and helped countless students by simply listening. Just the knowledge that you could go to him even if you were not in one of his classes made you feel better. His caring and warmth and sense of humor were always appreciated. PHS 62

Mr. Nash was a prominent figure in our neighborhood when we were growing up. We had so many involved parents on our street and he certainly was one of them. Thanks to him and many others, the Lynmar Road Runners will always have a significant place in our hearts and memories. The Nash household was always a welcoming home where games like "Kick The Can" and "Risk" were often played. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Nash.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We knew him in many ways (parent of students, speech team helper, another math teacher, a fellow Dukes fan!) and he was one of a kind. We are sorry we could not get out to offer our condolences in person.

Mr. Nasierowski/Mr. Nash was my math teacher and also a great guy, he made us laugh and kept us on our toes. I remember he & Mr. Leckenby had an ante room between their class rooms and you always smelled the coffee aroma. He left an impression on me. I remember the name change. According to the article of Mr Nash in the PPG you were all blessed to have him as your father & friend. With sympathy on your loss. Gail from the Class of 76.

Mr. Nash was my geometry teacher at Perry. He also taught my father, my sister, and my aunt; says alot about how much he loved teaching. I also remember working out with him at Club Julian when he would talk about his "over 50" softball team. He was quite a guy! I was fortunate to know him! He will be missed. With deepest symptathy and prayers.
