Name: Bernard L. Nash Date: December 7th, 1927 - March 7th, 2010 Obituary: Bernard Lee Nash, born December 7, 1927 in Montross, Virginia passed away peacefully at home in Sun City on March 7, 2010. He is survived by his loving wife, Lilla H. Nash; two children, Gail Isenberg of Cornwall, Vermont; Gary Nash of Delaplane, Virginia; three other children, Barclay A. Greene of Washington, DC and Sarasota, FL; Carolyn Elizabeth Greene of Potomac, Maryland and Sarah Lowry of Seattle, Washington. He leaves two brothers and four sisters as well as 12 grandchildren and one great grandchild. Four brothers and sisters predeceased him. Mr. Nash was born on a farm in the Northern Neck of Virginia, on land once part of the Robert E. Lee Plantation. He never forgot his roots and the rich history surrounding that area. Mr. Nash attended Randolph Macon Academy in Front Royal, Virginia and while there, excelled in academics as well as sports, having earned three RMA “letters.” Following Randolph Macon, Mr. Nash joined the US Navy as a seaman during the waning years of World War II. He truly saw the world during that time and as such a young man, it left lasting impressions. Following his discharge from the Navy, Mr. Nash worked as a brick mason while studying accounting at night. IN the late 1950’s he started his own business known as Bernard L. Nash Masonry. His business continued in operation for 46 years without interruption until his retirement in 2004. Mr. Nash was active in Theodore Roosevelt Masonic Lodge in Washington, DC, having been Master several times. He was very proud of his 50 year Member Card. Upon retirement to the Low Country in 2004, Mr. Nash and his wife discovered a whole new world of adventure and friendship. He especially enjoyed his travels in Europe where he could visit some of the places he had seen as a young seaman. Since baseball was one of his passions, he now had time to become a dedicated collector of baseball memorabilia and read many books about on of his heroes, Mickey Mantle. He was also excited about the competition and friendship of the Cypress Run Bocce Team.
