I'm so sorry for the loss of Nick. I loved Nick's spirit and humor as we worked on so many projects together. Always willing to come and help me at a moment's notice, Nick was a great friend and neighbor. My kindest regards to Nick's Mom, sisters and family. I know that families are forever and take some comfort in the idea that Nick is getting reacquainted with his father, who I know he missed greatly as a boy and young man. Love to all, always.

Nick. You lived life to the absolute fullest, where most are only existing. You moved fearlessly throughout this Earth, where most lived day to day fearful. And you are absolutely uninhibited and I will miss that about you. You have left a lasting impression on me and my perception on life and how to live it to the fullest. I hope you family knows and you, Nick played a pivotal role in many lives. I would rather celebrate you - you did more on this Earth then most of us will do in a life time. Until I meet you on the other side. Rest in Power. - Joan

I am so sorry for your loss. I know this is a difficult time for you. John 6:40 is a scripture that brings me peace, may it do the same for you and may the God of comfort (Psalms 83:18) comfort you and your family.
