I was so saddened to hear of Nickie's passing. Nick was a great boss and mentor of mine for many years. I remember his love for Martha and all his children was his driving force. Oh yeah, and the fishing season. :) May loving memories surround you. God bless!

Our condolensces to your family. My wife and I were customers at "Talk of the Town" for several years. Nick was always gracious and accommodating every time we were at the salon. So full of energy. I was always impressed watching the care and detail that he took working on his customers.
He was much too young.
