Barbara, Lorraine & Michele,
We were so sorry to hear of Nat’s illness and passing. You all have our deepest condolences. Jon and I have memories of Nat from our days at SeaLand. He had the driest sense of humor of anyone we know. We remember him too for being just an overall nice guy.
We hope that all your memories will give you peace during this most difficult time.
With Sincere Sympathy,
Jon & Mary Ellen Ross
