Dear Nancy, I am so sorry to hear about Nick. I remember when you and Nick got married. I was dating Bo at the time and was there at your wedding. When my brother ""Big"" died it was so unreal and I'm sure you're feeling the same way. Both Big and Nick died at such a young age - you have to believe they're looking down at us with smiles, living in a much better place! You and your family are in our prayers. Kim Henderson

Dear Corontzes Family, I am so sorry that Nick is no longer with us. It was such a privilege for me to be a part of the Pixie & Bill's family and to know him. He was like a second dad to me while I was at Clemson and was always ready with some advice, a joke, a hug, or a smile. He was a sweet and wonderful guy and I feel lucky to have known him. I will never forget him. All of the Corontzes family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Nick's illness and passing. I have great memories of Nick and his family while visiting them in Columbia during our high school years. Nick's smile was always bright and his laughter and personality infectious. I can't imagine the sadness and loss you are feeling, but know that he left a lasting impression on so many people and touched many lives. I wish I had seen more of him over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you and may his memory be eternal.
