I interacted with Nick regularly through my work. He was a very hard-working, considerate, and kind man. My coworkers and I were very sad to hear of his passing. Our thoughts are with his family.

My family and I have known Nick probably over 35 years. From water volleyball at the condos, cards with the cousins, marrying my beautiful cousin and the birth of his angelic daughter Amanda. The wonderful times I had with the whole Alvarez / Mettler family will stay deep in our memories and my heart. I still hear your special laugh and remember the way you loved to dance. Rest well sweet Nicky and know your extended family loves you and will keep you close to their hearts forever

I had the privilege of working with Nick for several years as the coordinator of extermination services at FCCS and he was so friendly and personable. We loved Nick! Enthusiastic, big smile, genuine and professional, I remember him being moved to to help a family in need by taking the children toys. Truly an honor to have met you Nick. God bless and my deepest condolences to all of his family and friends.
