Starting In the 60's, Johnny was like the the older brother that I never had. We'd go fishing, catch crabs, play cards, beat each other up over really dumb things. But he showed me how to make my self better and stronger. 50 years later, his impact 0n my life will all ways be with me. Gonna miss you Paw Paw or Remember (Jew Jew)?

There are very few people in this world that I actually respected, and enjoyed knowing. Nick and Sandra are two of the people on this very short list. Nick was always upbeat. Everytime I seen him or talked to him, I left with a sense of a true friendship. And in this world, we all know how hard that can be. I will miss him immensely. He was a wonderful person, And I hope Nick and my father are enjoying thier time away from this world Together, until they can reunite with all they have left behind.... Brandon
