Bonnie and Family,
WOW! Grieve your loss and with time you will all gain strength and heal. Know we are all here for you and grieving with you. We all will miss Nick, but we will never forget him. He will always be with us and his charismatic smile will still brighten the day's ahead of us.

He was a special man whom it was my privilege to have know. I have never met anyone of his character that even remotely resembled the man. No one! Truly a one in a million kind of guy.

God Bless you and your family. Our prayers are with you. My entire family extends our sincere condolences.
