Shalom, Diana and Family,
Please accept  our sincere condolences upon the passing of Nathan, a  friend and  believer in  Yahovashua Yeshua HaMaschiach.  Nathan  and I go back 50 years - his oldest friend, when under the leadership of Rev. Herbert Goldberg (Beth Messiah in Mississauga) we later established the Lion of Judah Messianic Ministry (one of the very first in Toronto). There we grew significantly and gathered to witness to the Jewish community.  All of us suffered intense persecution but we remained faithful believers in Yeshua and receiving His eternal security without 'works' (Romans 4:5) . None were lost and continue to this day in the faith.   Nathan and I , who went through many persecutions together, never lost our faith, Yeshua promising to preserve us until death or the rapture (1 Thessalonians 5:23) .   May Nathan's memory be for a blessing. From his oldest friend who will see him at the harpazo.  Love in the Maschiach - Steve

Nathan ❤️  loved his mother Mary and she loved him.
Mary would always take out to McDonald's or Swiss Chalet when we visited her or she would make delicious home-cooked meals and sometimes latkas.
Mary often gave us food baskets and always said it was her pleasure for no matter what she did for us.
Nathan said his mother Mary was the best mother in the world!
They will both be remembered.

Nathan and I were together through thick and thin for 34 years, we went every where together and confessed our love for each other every single day.
The nurses were pleased to hear Nathan singing
every day that he was in the hospital, they said his singing went all the way down the hall and cheered every body up. 
He will be remembered.
Much love ❤️ Nathan from your wife Diana.

Nathan, we will miss you terribly.  God has blessed our lives by having you with our family.  Your dedication to your faith and your love of God has inspired us.  My sincere sympathy to my sister, Diana, your wife of 35 years, and to your only brother, David, and his family.   You spent your life trying to be a better man with the help of God.  You became such a wise, caring and forgiving man carrying the light and love of God.   I know, that you knew,  we loved you, as did your friends, and family. You were so gifted in music, kindness, and in your knowledge of the bible. Your last words were "I am going home"....."tell everyone, I am going home".  I hope you are enjoying your new home and,  if possible, may we all meet again. You were and are...Forever with the Lord.

Shalom, Diana,
Our family wants to share our sincere condolences at your loss of Nathan, a dear,  beloved friend and faithful believer in Yeshua the Messiah.  My friendship with Nathan goes back over 45 years, when we first met in a home fellowship where a group of young Jewish men gathered to pray, worship and seek the Lord together.   Many of us went in very different directions. Some gave up on their faith.  Others drifted away. But Nathan, who went through many highs and lows, never wanted the light of his faith to go out.  He was blessed to have a wife who loved him dearly, supported him through every possible challenge and was equally steadfast in her love of Messiah.  Nathan, our brotherhood will go on and we will meet again in the presence of the Lord who now holds you fast in grace, peace and love.  Warmly in Yeshua, Ben Volman
