Dear Doris, Dennis & Family. We were so sorry to read about Nick. When ever he would come to Sea Cove, we would always talk about the old days in Atlantic City. I'll never forget the good times we all shared.

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.
