Natalie came from a large family, and she shared a special connection with each member. She loved her three siblings with everything she had. Being close to them and making sure they were ok was one of the most important things in her life.

Though no longer working on the course, he was still out there every weekend and more. His grandkids had become the true focal point once they arrived. He loved big and had a sense of humor and smile that were contagious. Not one to stand around, he was always willing to jump in and help with anything.
