Donna and Kim and all loved ones of Pastor Nat. I recently heard of Nat's passing and my heart goes out to all who mourn the loss of this wonderful man. I am sorry to have missed offering condolences in person as I was out of province. Pastor Nat was a wonderful inspiration to me in ministry and a blessing to all he met. He showed the true love of the Father with his patience, kindness, self-control, all goodness and love. He will be missed. Please accept my condolences. The Reverend Trudy Hardy, a fellow Newfoundlander.

It is with a profound sense of loss we have read about Paster Nate’s passing. He truly demonstrated the love of Jesus through out his life. During the early days of my ministry he was a wonderful mentor. I remember numerous times when he was serving in the Smiths Falls Free Methodist Church he would take me with him while visiting individuals who where unable to attend church. He gave me great advice when I was preparing sermons. Heavens gain is our loss. Well done Good and Faithful Servant.
Pastor Glen and Mary Louise Snider

Donna, Kim and family: Our deepest condolences go out to you at this time. Your dad was a great man, humble, quiet in nature, and deep in his faith and relationship with God. Another pillar in the faith has gone on to be with the Lord. He will be greatly missed. Give yourselves the space you need to celebrate his life and mourn his passing. "Your blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you." (Matt. 5:4 MSG)

With surprise and sadness I extend my condolences to the Vaters family and friends. While I was a pastor in Newfoundland I got to know Nat and Grace. He was a great example of a follower of Jesus. I know he has been promoted to Glory in his 89th year. I too am close by at 83 and thank the LORD for good health. Today our Intercessory Prayer Group at Causeway Christian Assembly (PAOC) will be praying for the family. Rev. Trevor D. Butt, Ennismore ON

Oh such Sad news. I spent so much time in your house with you Kim as a Teenager. Your Dad was such a loving gentle man. Your parents were the best pastors any group of people could have. Your dad had a way of making me feel like the only person in the room. I'm sure he was like that with everyone
I know your life will change as he was your world. My heart goes out to you at this time.

To Donna & Gerry, Natalie, Kyle & Aurelia, Nathan, Kim, and of course the goodest boy Milo, my heart is hurting for you all. I am also thinking of my mother, aunts and uncles and our entire Vaters extended family at this sad time. I'm sending my love and sincere condolences to each of you.
Great Uncle Nath was a kind and gentle soul. He will be missed by so many, and his legacy will live on through the many lives he has impacted over the years.
May you find some comfort and strength in the presence of loved ones in the days and weeks to come.
With lots of love,

Your father, yes and mother are forever etched in my memory. It seems like I knew him forever. I admired him when he had to conduct a funeral of a young child. He spoke such comforting words to the parents and family in their deepest sorrow with such grace and kindness. He had a voice for singing too. You have been so blessed with having him so long. Your care and love for him spoke volumes.
Nath will definitely be missed. But, the Blessed Hope, which he preached and held on to, will be a soon reality for our great gathering to be with the Lord forever. He preached with passion.
May you be comforted knowing he is without any more health challenges.
