I am so sorry for the loss to your family as Nat was a friend during my career as an Orange Police Officer. I did not know of his passing and only came upon his obituary by accident. I definitely would have paid my final respect to this intellectual gentleman. Again, my condolences to all that knew him.

My Amazing Uncle Nat... God has called you home after serving so many good years on this earth. Thank you for being a great example of what a father and uncle should be. I thank you for every positive time and thought I've had the privilege to spend and think of you during your time here on earth. No moment in my life can I ever say there was anything negative concerning you. I thank you for being the teacher you were during the time that was your profession. I thank you for your belief and knowledge in your walk with God. Sarina and I pray that your influence continues to grow in Candace, Paula, and Carl...and all of your beautiful grand and great grandchildren. We love you.
