To Nick's family....I am very sorry to hear of his passing and am sorry I can't make the calling hours. Although I have not seen him in a few years I knew him for many, many years through the Little Rhody Bottle Club which I was the President of through the 1990's. Nick made most meetings and every Christmas party, I know he enjoyed them and we loved having him there. He was a great person and will be missed. Again, I am very sorry for your loss.
