I am so sorry about Nevin. He and my dad worked together at Wayne County Highway Dept. It was a great joy to discover him and Lu at O’Dell’s lake. We had a lot of good times together.
So sorry to hear this. He was a wonderful man and great neighbor. I’m so glad Jeannie and I went to visit him in September. I have lots of great childhood memories of Nevin, Lulubell,Gary and Norman. My sincere and deepest sympathies to the family. Cindy Byler
Nolena, Joey, Nate, Lisa and Randy, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Nevin. He was lucky to have had such a long life.
I’m so sorry to hear of Nevin’s passing. Even though we were neighbors for only three years, I thought he was such a wonderful man. He’d always bring me tomatoes from his garden. Sometimes he’d take packages that were delivered while I was at work and bring them to me when I got home. Sunny was also such a joy – he sure did love that dog! I feel blessed to have known such a kind, friendly man!
So sorry for your loss. I’ve delivered Nev and Lulu mail for over thirty years. Always looked forward to seeing them for a chat. Amazing people
