Heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of Mr. Nolen. He held such a special place in my heart. I've never met a man so devoted to his wife. I enjoyed on more than one occasion him sharing the story of how they met, his service overseas, and his love of life on the farm. I will cherish the memories I have of him.
