Just my thoughts

I was at work yesterday and one of our employee's came up and gave me the paper. The headline was "23 year old man in critical condition after crash". His name was Nathan Schneekloth. He was one of my employee's last year when I was one first shift, he left us to head off for a full time job at another company, much better opportunity.

Well this morning I read he died. I know he left behind a wife and 5-year old son. I know that my posts either are about funny or sarcastic subjects but I remember Nate very well. The reason being is that he always had smile on his face and maybe one of the nicest young men you will ever meet.

I used to make fun of his last name because no one could pronounce it , it was "sh-nack-loff", so that is what I called him.

I remember him talking about all the rock bands he liked and that he was a bass player for a local one.

We used to talk about our kids, Tommy being 5 it was an easy connection.

I am not sure his wife of son will ever read this but if they do I want to make sure, maybe to his son Tyler more than anyone, that your dad was a good man, maybe better than most that I have come across.

We all get pre-occupied with the little things in life. Life is precious. Enjoy the moment.

I know its almost two years later, but I am Nate's sister and I decided to google my brother's name and came across your blog.

Thank you so much for the kind words and memories

You must have worked with Nate at Johnnyville? Anyway, I read your blog to Tyler. He likes hearing about how great his father was. Thank you for sharing.

I did work with him at Johnsonville when he was with Staff Management, I was the first shift supervisor.

The hair nets used to bug him because of his long hair, I just told him he looked pretty :)

Thanks for the comment, I am glad Tyler got to see it.
