Dear Rosaria, Patricia, Ron, and family. I was saddened to hear of Nat’s passing and that he has been ill for several months before that. I cherish the moments and dinners we shared together, the laughs and yes his favorite wine too. He will be missed by many, but the memories and his love for life will continue to inspire us all. May his journey to our Father’s ‘ home be serene and peaceful and may he always look down with pride on all that he has achieved. Sincere condolences to you all. from David and Pina
