Nash spent his career as an electrical engineer working for Dupont Chemical, RCA, Mitre Corporation and GTE.

He was a man of simple pleasures who enjoyed the outdoors, trips to the beach with Dolores and going on long bicycle rides. Nash will be remembered as a gentle, kind and humble man with a quiet but deep compassion for all those around him, especially his family and friends.

A private family service was held on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at Downing Cottage Funeral Chapel in Hingham.
