Tom Brew said, “Completely devastated to hear of the passing of Bloomington’s Nathan Finney, who died in a plane crash last weekend.”
“RIP, friend until we meet again… Nathan Finney was more than a good restauranteur. Working for him was my favorite, and anyone who knows me knows that I hold The Tap as it was when I worked there as the gold standard.”
“He created a workplace that felt like home. He loved that we called ourselves “Tap Fam” and it brought a huge smile to his face that we always sat down together for a meal and a beer after our shift. Working at other restaurants, this is often forbidden. You’re profoundly missed.”
Lucas Finney posted:
“At an immense loss for words. Though we both never knew for sure whether we were actually related, he was family to me. Nathan Finney never failed to be the first to text me a “happy birthday cuz” on my birthday or call and meet up when he would visit Vegas. Please keep Nathan’s family in your prayers. I sure will miss you cuz.”
Reece Phillips said, “Thank you for all the memories! You never wronged me or let me down. I am a better person for having you in my life, as are so many others.”
