Alan and I are a saddened to learn of the passing of your dear father, Nate. When a parent does at a ripe old age, it is a sad event since we come to believe they are immortal especially if they have weathered crisis and bounced back again and again. Gail, you and your brother were devoted and loving children. Your dad was a true gentleman with a smile that brighten the room. He will be missed. May Gd give you the strength to remember the good time during this time of grief. המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך אבלי ציון וירושלים. May Hashem comfort you an your family with in the community of Zion and Jerusalem.

We are so very sorry for your loss.
Dear Gail and Steve,
Sorry for your loss. Your dad always had a smile on his face.
When I went to Tamarisk and dad was sitting with his men friends, I always gave dad a kiss on his forehead.
Remember your good times. May he Rest In Peace.

Gail, I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I know how much he meant to you and your brother and how lucky you were to have him for so long. May he rest in peace.
I always enjoyed Nats company at Tamarask. He was always good for a joke, or just to make you smile with that smile he has. When ever his daughter called he would take the call no matter what he was doing he loved his family and he was proud of them for all they accomplished. And all I have to say is I miss him I’ve spoken to him on the phone a couple times from where he was at and he never could quite tell me where he was but I know where he’s going, I know where he’s going. He is missed
Such a shock…why? Because it is never time.
My heartfelt condolences.
So many memories fill me.
Sweet, dear cuz…rest in peace.
Dear Gail
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your dear Dad. May all your good memories bring you comfort. We are praying for peace for all who loved him. May he Rest In Peace.

Dear Gail and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your very witty and exceptional father. He was a good friend and neighbor. I will always miss him holding court in his open door garage giving opinions and solutions to the problems of the day in a humorous and thought provoking way. He was the delight of the neighborhood. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Delivered meals on wheels to Nate on wednesday for many years before Tamarisk…he was the high point. Will miss the rascal.
May his memory be a blessing. You were a devoted daughter and he was a handsome, happy, smiling guy.
I am so sorry for your loss, Gail. Thinking of you and your family.
Gail and Steve, so sorry for your loss. Nate touched so many lives including mine. I know of nobody who did not love him. I am heartbroken thinking about how long it has been since I spoke to him and still can see and hear his smile. A better man has never walked this earth. May his memory be for a blessing.
Gail and Steve, we were so sorry to hear about the passing of Nate. He was a wonderful man who always had time for a conversation. He was a respected Board member of Touro Fraternal Association for many years and helped the organization flourish. He will be sorely missed.
I’m so sorry Gail. You were so close to your dad. It hard losing him – hard to lose a parent at any age. He was such a sweet man. Wish I could hug you and your brother…
