nick nigro sr. was an admirable man. he fought for union rights in a time when that wasn't a popular sentiment.
nick sr. wasn't scared to express his opinion about anything.
he always spoke well of my family, and heaped so much verbal praise upon my deceased father jerry, i almost cried. my prayers go out to nick, angie, john, and gina. your parents are together again. cherish their memory.
love, steve
