I went to grade and high school with Tom.I remember his sense of humor and quick smile.I considered him a good friend at that time.I live in another state now and had no idea Tom had passed until I got the Moeller newsletter tonight.Then I looked him up on the net and came to this site.I only saw him once since high school but it saddened me to hear of this.Tom was a competitor as RW mentioned.By the way if RW ever sees this,The Blacks beat the Golds in the 1972 intramural championship.Remember??

I don't think Joe Black played for me. Seems like Nate left and coached in the younger division. I don't think Nate coached with me until the end which was 1976. I think Pat Murray ended up helping me my last year.

I'm not sure though, that was a long time ago. I think I still have papers and rosters from those years in my parents basement unless mom has thrown them out.

Will you jogged my memory when Joe Black mentioned Nate coached him at St. Johns. That must of been after left as your assistant coach and I took over the Green Machine. Many good times together and fond memories will keep him with us for I hope many years to come.

We all have to get together this spring, I do not want to all meet again next time under the same situation.

I was a senior DB and a friend of Bob’s, but that's not how I met Nate. I met him first, I think, while attending Webelow meetings in his basement as his dad was our bucket wielding leader. Nate and I became good friends when I coached him in basketball at St. John's. Later he coached with me for several years.

He was a very kind and gentle person, as Denny stated, but also a fierce competitor. I'll never forget how hard he worked to make Pat Murray a better player. And, how hard he played basketball at the Lutheran Church.

Sadly, I had not seen him for many years.

Good bye Nate I was/am very fond of you.

Tom was a great man. He was exceptionally nice and thoughtful,decent, level-headed, and mature at an early age. He had a great sense of humor, and had a way about him that made you at ease when talking to him. He was the kind of person you felt you had known for a long time, even the first time you met him. I can't think of any negative attributes he had. I can picture his genuine smile and quick laugh, and easy demeanor. He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with his lovely wife and fine young son, his brothers, and parents.
