Letter: Nate Ulrey has been an asset to the village
Icon:
I want to commend a young man who has worked for the Village for a couple of years. Nate Ulrey has been an asset to the Village and has helped many citizens. He is an extremely hard worker and gave a 100% to all projects he undertook.
The Village is a better place because of him. He has taught the service employees about trees and was instrumental in removing the ash trees before the emerald borer destroyed them and they fell. I was honored to work with him. He has taken a leave of absence from the Village and he will be missed.
He is in the Navy and has been called up to active duty in August and will leave and go overseas. He will be leaving a young wife and two daughters behind. I ask that the citizens of Bluffton pray for his safe return. I know I will be.
Nate, may God bless you and keep you in his care and I pray that he takes care of your family in your absence.
Sincerely,
Nancy Benroth
