I served with Nate on the Ike. He was a great Shipmate and friend. It has been a while since we talked, and that is something I will always miss. I send my deepest and most sincere condolences.

As a driver for Try Hours, I recall a long, back-to-back and overnight delivery to Virginia I had made, where Nate called me the next morning asking how the trip had gone and how I was doing. That was Nate. He made me feel that I was more than just a driver to him and he was certainly more than a dispatcher to me. His kindness and generosity will always be remembered and he will be very much missed.
My sincere sympathies to Andee, her daughters and his family.

You will be so greatly missed Nate! Coming to work every morning will never be the same. You were such a hard working, honest, caring person, and we will always remember you here. Praying for peace for Andee and the girls, along with his parents and siblings.
