Nathan's legacy is a great one. His family are good people and their heritage is blessed with talent and kindness. I think about Carol often, and how her mom was a beloved babysitter for our little Johanna and her brother Bill. I think about Sammy Bobrick's humor, and contributions to entertainment. And I certainly will remember Alisa's Bat Mitzvah. Great people. Great memories.

By chance I discovered this obituary and am sad to read it. Carole, if you see this, I knew you and Nathan back 'when' I was married to Fred Klinsky. I still talk about your daughter's bat Mitsvah and the Samuri cake cutter. Wish I could talk to you; Minnie's name comes up often when I'm with my kids, Bill and Johanna. Best wishes, dear heart, and many blessings to you. Judi K

Carole - Bob and I are so saddened about Nate. Even though we haven't seen you in years we consider both of you dear friends. On occasion we would see Nate downtown and he would always have a kind word and smile on his face. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Fondly, Bob & Barbara Williams

My deepest condolences to you all. Nate was a great professional mentor and role model for me many years ago. I owe much to Nate and many at his firm for helping jump start my law career. He was not only a great mentor but a great friend, with an astonoishing sense of humor that kept me going all the time.
I hope my words and my memories might give you at least a small measure of comfort at this difficult time.
With great respect and admiration for Nate and love to you all,
