  1. Mr. Nestor was my school bus driver when I started school at Silent Grove in 1956. What precious memories I have of him getting off the bus and carrying me across Rt. 250 when the snow was deep. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

  2. Dear Family and Friends,

    God has appointed seasons and times for everything according to His purpose. Change is the one constant in life, and we meet change with confidence in Whom we have believed.

    He was a man among men whose faith served him well. He was indeed salt and light in this world, We rejoice in his legacy is love.

    Hugs and prayers for peace through the Prince of Peace in this season of life.
