Nick will be so greatly missed. he always had a wonderful smile and was such a pleasure to be around. My blessings to all of the family and friends that were fortunate enough to have spent time and got to know Nick. We are truly blessed with the time we had.

The only time I saw Nick without a smile was when he had just lost his friend a couple of years ago. The gleam in his eyes, and that broad smile
always cheered me and anyone else around. Nick lived life to the fullest. And he left a mystery. Where did he leave all of those P.O. Box keys that he lost? We'll never know.

I did not know Nick but from what I have read here, I wish I had. He sounds like the kind of guy I would have liked to ride and hang around with. My wife and I were on the ride that Saturday. I was the first one to Nick after the accident, and being trained as a First Responder, I can honestly say that Nick did not suffer, even a little. I wish I could have done something for Nick, but he passed quickly and without pain. He was treated with the respect he deserved.
My condolences are with the family and may Nick ride in peace forever.
Goodbye Brother rider.

My wife and I met Nick several years ago at Al's in St. Louis Park. We became friends that first day and when we found out who we knew together it seemed like we'd been friends for years. We shared a love of motorcycles and had many laughs together. Nick will be missed by everyone who ever met him, and our hearts go out to his family.

Missed you. I was very shocked and very sad. Luck to know you for a long time since we were in TVI in St. Paul last year of 1970. A good funny guy, charming guy, sense of humor guy, and loving guy, I know you. My friend is Desi Cipriano who was her step-uncle, Nick. Luck, she did met you last October 2001, me, too. Let you go free ride in heaven. See you in heaven, later.

I was so shocked and sad that he is gone I won't be able to see him or hug him. He was a sweet guy and sense of humor always talked about motorcycle. The last time we had class reunion saw his picture on his motorcycle he looked so cool. I was hoping to see him last Oct. for class reunion (35 yrs) but he couldn't come. Now he is gone but I will never forget him. My deepest symanthy to his family. I will truly missed him no matter he is so far away. God Bless Him!!

Nick's been a brother of mine since the old Barking Ducks/Archie's days-Always looked out for me and had a smile and a hug as well.
I spoke to him on saturday afternoon-told him I'd gone back to working horses-He was so genuinely happy for me-the last 25 years he's seen them come and go from my life-and how unhappy I was when I was away from them.He gave me a great big smile when he told me he was happy to see me doing what I'm good at, and what I love again for a change...I am so glad that the last time I saw him was no different than every other moment I ever got to spend time with Nick-a big hug, a smile and the support you only get from true brothers.
The quilt that is our riding family has a piece missing that won't soon be repaired.I will miss my brother Nick.

It is with heavy hearts that Mark and I think about all the good times we all had together. It's amazing how fast time goes and the changes in life that are always so uncertain, that's why we have friends that always seem to "Be There" or "Show up" when you need them to. Nick you will always be that friend to us. We will certainly miss running into you in your Postal truck, or the sound of your pipes as you pull in our driveway. We Love You Nick and will never forget you.
