Nick was as Reading as they come. He was a great basketball teammate and had a big heart. He always made me feel like I was somebody who mattered. I loved that guy.

I'm proud to have known Nick since Kindergarten. Nick was one of the kindest, and always had a smile on his face . Nick was everyone's friend. Nick, God Bless You and may you rest in eternal peace.

I taught Nick in 4th grade. He was always smiling. He would slide into the classroom on his knees saying, "All that jazz..." May you rest in peace Nick! Prayers for the family.
