For my adopted "Little Brother" Nate. I won't ever forget you Nate.
I was thinking about Nate today and wondering about getting back in touch. Instead, I found this obituary. Nate and I became friends and colleagues on CompuServe forums where we both worked with the legendary Georgia Griffith and founded the White House Forum, which was a predecessor to WhiteHouse.gov. Nate was always such a gentleman and a protector of Georgi who was both deaf and blind. He was a gifted moderator and had a keen sense of wit and humor. I had been missing him and will miss him more now. It was good to know he was on the earth. Online friends, for many of us, are true friends, even when we lose touch.
In our early certified days, I can still see Nate, trying to sneak into our shredding facility, trying to be as stealth as he could be,(which wasn’t too easy for him), walking straight to a secure area, with my employees watching him. They knew who he was and allowed him to proceed, which got me in a lot of trouble, which later provided me with a teachable moment for my shredding crew (minus one employee after it was over). But again, watching him trying to sneak – and we were watching him on camera. We had a good laugh – as did he when we showed him. Nate was a good man. A respected inspector. One we learned quite a bit from and one we will miss. He was a lot of fun, but he was doggedly serious about his job and what we did. Immense respect for him – and a loss to our industry, and a friend I will miss. Rest in Peace, Nate. Job well done!
Nate and I worked as contractors for the same company and his reputation was that of an individual who was committed to being a professional in every way. Prayers and condolences to his family, friends and co-workers.
I met Nate 15 years ago when he showed up to do a Certification Audit at a company I worked for. I was an extremely nervous young manager, and this audit was a big deal. While Nate was extremely thorough and professional, he also somehow made me feel at ease. We spent about 6 hours together pouring over documents and facility requirements. I would see Nate every couple years after this for unannounced or recertification audits. I always looked forward to these visits. Nate was always happy to talk about his family and what he had been up to. I will miss him and I extend my heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife and children.
I knew Nate as a professional colleague for many years. We never talked that there wasn’t some story about what he had been up to lately. I always enjoyed his company when we saw each other in person. Rest easy my frined.
I’m so sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort give you peace and the strength to endure through such a difficult time (Revelation 21:3,4). Again, my condolences to your family.
I learned yesterday that a professional associate of mine from many years ago suddenly passed away. I admired his professionalism and his ethics. He was an extremely talented private investigator, a writer, and he had the rather unique ability to discover some of the better, but more obscure, places to eat throughout the mid-South. While our political views could not be more different, we respected each other’s opinions. Nate Lenow Jr., our world is not going to be the same without you. I wish you God speed, my friend. And when you pass through those pearly gates, please give my regards to Beth Smith Bell. May you Rest In Peace.
I have known Nate for at least the past 45 years, so I call myself among his longtime friends. Nate and I, along with a motly crew of other friends used to hang out at the P&H. Even though I have lived all over the world, my friend Nate was always around to entertain me with his latest travel or detective adventure. He was a good friend and I will miss him deeply.
You all are in our prayers. I will miss his FB entries on his adventures. May peace be with your family and friends.
