I met Nolan at IKEA in port wentworth. They assigned him to train me on the job. He was a very kind , patient , understanding man. We developed a friendship in my 8 1/2 years there and he will greatly be missed by me and many other people. He was always willing to lend a hand to help someone out . We also had a lot of laughs together at work. Rest in peace my friend. Thoughts and prayers to your family and friends.
