I sat next to Nat at the church service during our 60th class reunion. We had many conversations during that reunion time. It's hard to believe I will not see him again in this life. We grew up a block from each other as children we go "way back". Even as a young boy Nat was always a gentleman and a good friend. Please accept my condolences on his passing. With deep affection, Myrna Lynne Weems DeBose
