To the Nott Family: I want to send to you my sincere condolences on the passing of your husband, father, and grandfather. In my estimation, you would be hard pressed to find a better father and a finer man. Mr. Nott lived a life that inspired those of us who met him to find all that was good within ourselves to give to our wives, our children, our neighbors, our friends. I know that your loss will profoundly change your lives and I want to express my sadness for that. I hope that his legacy will be with you and guide you always. He was a good man.
