Please accept my deepest sympathies to Theresa and all of Nick's family. Nick and my father, Jack Walters, flew together in WWII and remained friends for the rest of their lives. When my parents, my brother, and I visited your home in the lates 60s, Nick and Theresa extended warmth and friendship to us that I'll never forget. May your wonderful memories of Nick comfort you at this time.
