Our heart felt sympathy goes to the family. Losing two family members in one year is beyond what any family should ever have to go through. May God\’s love blanket you with peace.
Uncle Niles was a beloved son, brother, father, grandfather, husband, uncle and friend. He loved his family so much and worked hard for what he had. He will be greatly missed by everyone whose heart he touched. He was taken from us too soon. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Wow Cat , there is nothing I can said to help u with your pain, just I love u my friend and may you and family share the memories to ease your pain
I am deeply saddened to learn of Nile’s passing. I knew him when he was an MP at Fort Sam. I remember a kind, funny person full of joy and integrity. My sincere condolences to the family.

I miss you so very much Dad. Hope you’re raising some hell up there!
Sorry to his passing Niles and I where in stationed in Germany. Roommates with the 202nd MP’s. He got me hooked on classic country. Tom T Hall. Was hoping he’d come to reunion so we could have catches up.
God Bless
