In Memoriam, Kenneth Tyson Nagie
Vince Lombardi is quoted for
having said, “The quality of a person's life is in direct
proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of
their chosen field of endeavor.”
Ken Nagie had numerous chosen endeavors and achieved notoriety
in all of them. We can see that he was a good father by the
accomplishments of his son Ty. Gail would certainly attest to
him being a loving lifetime partner. And from his obituary we
read about his striving success as a Mason, a Scout, and a Countryman
as a Veteran of our armed services.
As for Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) the measure
of Ken’s commitment to excellence is pages long. He achieved
Fellow in the Institute and was on numerous committees at the
local, Regional and Institute level. To the members of the CSI
Pittsburgh Chapter he was our rock. I have been a member for
the past 20 years and Ken has been there as long as I can remember.
Ken with Gail’s help of course, ran the Chapter’s
very successful product shows at the Expo Mart. Ken was a leader
with the forthright personality that leader possesses. Kris
Kennedy spoke of it at Tuesday night’s monthly CSI meeting.
She talked about Ken’s honesty and told how Ken stated
what was on his mind and gave you his true opinion with no sugar
coating. If he believed in something, Ken was upfront crusading
but if his beliefs differed from other Institute members, he
was still upfront expressing his concerns and reservations.
I remember George Nauhausel telling me that I could learn a
lot from the big guy, Ken Nagie. Ken was affectionately referred
to as the “Big Guy.” The nickname fit him well not
only because of his stature but also the wealth of knowledge
he commanded. I think Ken had the CSI Manual of Practice memorized
from cover to cover and it is 3-inches thick. He taught many
of us in this room the CSI methods of preparing proper construction
documents. Being truthful and doing things correctly have a
way of relating to each other. Ken was true to the CSI doctrine
he taught, and used that doctrine to produce many successful
projects. He believed in it …I remember Ken telling how
he used the CSI 3-part format to write a specification for a
school bus. He said you could apply CSI rules to just about
anything.
Well, here it goes Ken, you
got all the Part 1 General Requirements completed:
- Home, family, child,
- Education, successful career,
- Leader in local, regional and national
organizations;
You had the Part 2 materials to do the job:
- Stature, status, smarts
- Honesty, Ingenuity,
- Righteous and forthright.
You delivered the Part 3 Execution with excellence
by:
- Sharing your knowledge and teaching others.
- Serving with life long dedication as
a CSI Construction Specifier for more than 45 years.
- Achieving notoriety in the organizations
to which you voluntarily belonged.
Nagie have lived an excellent life. This is
obvious by the numerous people that have spoke here today to commemorate
that life. May your soul rest in peace and may We have the comfort
of knowing you have left this world completing a life of great
quality.
