In Loving Memory of

Robert Nash

March 4, 1946  —  November 12, 2024

A Life Remembered

“A gentle soul, a patient teacher, and a friend to everyone who crossed his path.”

Robert Nash spent forty years as a high-school science teacher in Portland, where he was known less for his lessons than for his kindness. He built canoes on weekends, kept a garden that fed half the block, and never met a problem he couldn't talk through on the porch. He is survived by his wife, three children, and a great many former students who still call him "Mr. Nash."
