I remember when I first met Nate, I was brand new to the east coast and didn’t realize how cold it really got up there, all I had were California winter clothes, I was 16, my mom was at work and I was taking out the trash, he was walking up the street and at first I expected him to ask me for money, instead Nate just asked “Why Don’t You Have A Jacket Boy?” I explained that I was new to the area and introduced myself, he was wearing 3 jackets and took off one of them and gave it to me and said just to get him back when I saw him next. The next week I brought him a bag full of cigarettes, clothes, and snacks. You would’ve thought I had just given him a million dollars with how he reacted and how sincere his appreciation was. From that moment on anytime he saw me in the streets being dumb and 16 he always looked out for me. You are truly missed Nate, won’t ever forget about you. You showed me that even in bad situations it’s important to help others

First Impressions

April 2, 2013

The very first time I met Nate.  I was walking past the Riverside and saw this young man leaning against the brick wall, one knee bent with his foot pressed against the brick.  As I got closer I could hear him singing 'My Girl' and I remember thinking what a beautiful voice he had.  As I started to walk by I heard him say "how are you today lovely lady" with a nod and the most beautiful smile I ever saw.

When I think of Nate, this is the scenario that plays through my mind and always brings a smile to my face.  They say First Impressions are everlasting.  That is so true because this First Impression has lasted 40 years and I am so glad that when I think of Nate that this is the very first thing my minds eye sees.

It was an honor to know such a man that was as beautiful inside as he was outside.

God Bless you Nate.
