His family was his world.  He loved all sports. It did not matter if it was football, baseball or tennis, he could tell you all the statistics of each team and player. He never wavered on his love for his teams: Go Red Sox! Go Dolphins!He had a mind for math and strategy which made him a strong competitor.  It did not matter if he was playing Chess or against someone in electronic Yatzy, “skunking” his family members in Cribbage or Uno with his son.  His favorite pastimes were line dancing, golf and most of all Pool. He had a strong sense of self and made sure you knew about his abilities as a “7”, but win or lose he loved his team as family.  There will be a Celebration of Life for Nathanel on Saturday, January 18th, 2025 at 2:00pm. This celebration will be held at Oasis Church located at 176 Sand Bank Road, Cheshire, CT 06410.
