For those who knew Our Father you would know that he was a very Kind, Loving, Hard Working, Dedicated, Funny Man… Our Father was 150% a TRUE Philadelphia Phillies fan. He Believed in His team even when they didn’t believe in themselves. Our Father has went through many rough roads in life and has taught us the meaning of Love and Loyalty. Our Father was a very strong Man with a Heart built of Solid Gold. He knew when to be Our Teddy Bear and He also knew when to be stern. We couldn’t have asked for a better Father then what we have been given. Our Father enjoyed Bowling and spending time with his Bowling buddies.. He loved Family and adored his Children and Grandchildren.  Now Our hearts can be at rest knowing that Our Mother and Our Father are with God and that they are free from Pain.. They can now catch up on old times and enjoy the Beauty God has there for them..  Our Father had 5 Children Rosella, Jimmy, David, Alice and Helen, 21 Grandchildren and 9 Great Grandchildren.. He will be Lovingly missed by so many.. My Father had 2 Brothers Ken Nolan Sr (Deceased)  and Skip.  He also has 2 sisters Jett and His Baby Sister Dawn..  We asked that you keep our Family in your Prayers and We would all like to Thank each and everyone of you whom have touched My Fathers life.  God Bless to All.. His Babygirl Helen

To David, Alice and Helen,

I want you to know I am very sorry for your loss of your father. I know it’s not an easy time for you. Although it doesn’t make it easier. Always remember that he will always be your angel walking beside you.  Now you have two angels looking after you all. I believe mom and your dad have met again and have peace together and they will be angels together. Love you all.
