To the entire Nath family. My heartfelt condolences. We weep today because of our loss. In the near future we need to smile in the knowledge that God puts us all here with a job to do. Some of us are given smaller tasks to complete in our time here. Others like Don are given a far greater task. He was sent here to create a legacy, in raising a family and to bringing joy and service to all those that he met. He gave all to his Lords job. We mourn because we will miss his light and company. Tomorrow we need to start to smile in the knowledge that we were blessed to live in a world he was in. We need to smile in the thought that all his tireless work blessed each of us. His light and spirit are found in his children and their children. He was called home because his work and love here was complete. But if you knew Don, you know he is now working tirelessly to prepare eternity for all of us. The physical man is no longer with us, but let's all honor him by our acts of kindness and love towards others. Let Don's spirit be alive in all of us! RIP Sir and thank you. Steve and Patty Sebastian

I was shocked to hear the passing of Don. Don and Joan were neighbors when I lived at Bethel Square Apts. . It was always poker night at Bethel Square on Wednesday Don was one of the players. There were two tables that played poker I was one of the players at the table where Don played we always had a good time and we teased him about his dime collection of winnings that was always overflowing with dimes. Joan you and your family have my deepest sympathies. I know Don will be deeply missed at Bethel Square for all the daily projects he attended too. May God bring comfort and peace and strength to Joan and his family, Sandra May

We are all deeply grieving at Bethel Square Apts. at the loss of Don. Don was our "Mayor" & daily was available to check our outside doors to be sure they were secure, opening n closing our dumpster daily & doing grocery runs for all the our parties & special events.He did so much more than most residents knew about & was always willing to do more. I'm was so shocked to hear the news of his passing, we all thought he was on the mend...He was such a sweet friend, he & his wife Joan had become great neighbors & Don being a team member had always worked together to get a project completed. He was a character...if things weren't perfect ,he'd have sober look , next thing I'd notice , he'd be laughing & joking about a story he'd relate to all of us about something that happened the day before! We lost a good man, a caring man...He was a great husband, father & my friend. You are sadly missed already Don. May God comfort & bring peace to Joanie & his family . Margie T.
