Petitioner, James E. Nestler, Jr., respectfully states:
1. Petitioner is James E. Nestler, Jr., an adult individual who resides at 3526 September
Drive, Apt. 3, Camp Hill, PA 17011.
2. The minor child, SUZANNE J. NESTLER, was born on November 13, 2012, and is
currently one (1) year old.
3. Petitioner is the minor child's maternal grandfather.
4. The minor child lives at 3526 September Drive, Apt. 3, Camp Hill, PA 17011, with the
proposed guardian, James E. Nestler, Jr..
5. Other individuals living with Petitioner and the minor child are: Ashley Nestler, 23,
Mother; Connor Nestler, 15, uncle; Michelle Butler, 48, grandfather's girlfriend. The
mother of the minor child is Ashley L. Nestler, who resides at 3526 September Drive,
Apt. 3, Camp hill, PA 17011.
6. The father of the minor child is Benjamin R. Ferguson, who resides at 19604 Hastings
Road, Alvin, TX 77511.
7. The child is in need of a guardian because Ashley is working full time as well as going to
school full time. She has very little money to care for my granddaughter and very little
time as well. If I had guardianship of my granddaughter it will give Ashley the time to get
her life together so they can have a productive and positive life in the long run.; the
following reason: Benjamin is currently living with his parents in Texas. He is married
and His income is very limited. He says he would like to but does not have the money to
come up here. If I had guardianship of Suzanne I would be able to bring her down to visit
not only with her father but his side of Suzanne's family at a lower expense. It is
extremely important to me that Suzanne have a positive connection with her father's
family.; the child's school is requiring legal authority to deal directly with the proposed
guardian regarding the child's education; a physician or other medical provider is
requiring that the proposed guardian have legal authority to obtain medical treatment for

protect and provide for the child in any circumstances which may arise in the future.

Person of the minor child.
12. The consent of the proposed Guardian is attached to this petition.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, James E. Nestler, Jr., nominates himself as Guardian of the
Person of SUZANNE J. NESTLER, and requests this Honorable Court to make such
appointment pursuant to Section 5111 of the Probate, Estates and Fiduciaries Code, 20
