I am extremely sad at the loss of one of the only person I know, who is also my godfather. Uncle Nick was the most caring and lighthearted man I ever knew. I am so glad that I was witness to his marriage to Aunt Doris and will celebrate him forever in my heart.

Our hearts and prayers are with you in this moment of grief. We love you and miss you Love Charlie & Sue
