Dear Robert and Sue, I am so sad for your loss. I coached Nick 5 or 6 times over the years, and always enjoyed having him on my team. Nick was a good player and an even better kid. He grew up to be a fine man. When I did run into him at work or around town, he was always respectful and polite. I know he is running liners in heaven. Mike Hurley

Dear Robert and Sue, I am so sad to hear about Nick. I coached him 5 or 6 times and enjoyed each and every one of them. He was a good player and an even better kid. As he grew to be a man, he would always stop to talk to me and always showed me the greatest respect. He was a good man and this really saddens me. I know he is running liners in heaven. Mike Hurley
