Joe and Family,
I remember Joe speaking of Nick and their love of hockey. Joe was committed to attending all events no matter of his business travels. May GOD care for all of you as he now takes care of Nick.

Joe and Penny,
When I heard of Nicholas passing, tears of sadness fell for you, my friends. I remember Nicholas when he was little having that contagious smile, a twinkle in his eyes, a bit of mischief about him and a love for dogs (that came from his Mom)! Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
